Tonight on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert the educational culture wars are on his mind and Florida (which the host calls Americas mullet) is ground zero for all of it.

Problems have arisen in the south and midwest when it comes to critical race theory and any teaching that focuses on marginalized communities that makes students feel bad for historic wrongs in American history.

What is history class in Florida going to be like now? he says. He goes on to give an example to what students can expect. Ok today kids, were going to learn that in 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blueblah blah blah, the new Batman is now streaming on HBO Max. Come and get your diplomas!

Unfortunately, the censorship of certain parts of history does not stop there. Colbert talks about some statistics that shed light on just exactly how out of control this is as he states (from CNN) how the Florida education department rejected 41 percent of new math textbooks. These books were rejected because of references to critical race theory. He points out the problem of this thinking and the type of education students can look forward to.

Well that explains the updated unit on division: A house divided against itselfHey thats two houses. Nice!

While the education department claims the process for ruling out said books was transparent, it left the host scratching his head in confusion.

I guess they also banished dictionaries because thats not what transparent means, he jokes.

Watch the rest of the opening monologue above.
