I’m not going to suggest it’s a good idea, but I know when math books became a topic it was supposedly because some type of political stuff was being included in the problems. Haven’t followed it closely but I do remember hearing that.

I’ll see if I can find a link.

What purpose does that serve in math class to teach charts and graphs?
