Will not be taught about the Holocaust.

Alex Lanfranconi, director of communications at the Florida DOE, told Newsweek via email that the specific textbooks referenced "did not meet our high-standards for instructional materials, and we have sent our feedback to the publishers to help them come into compliance with standards."

Florida requires instruction on the Holocaust for all students beginning in fifth grade, he said, adding that there are currently "many textbooks and other approved instructional materials" that exist.

Hence the half truth.

Yes, they are meddling however to make a blanket statement that textbooks were banned leaving the reader to assume the subject will not be taught is false.
