Equation Builder and JAWS reading it as a button

Our 508 review team indicated JAWS is reading the LaTeX equation as a button, which is not 508 compliant. This is what I have:

This is how it appears (correctly):

This is how it appears in the focus order under Alt-Text

After JAWS reads the alt-text, it verbalizes "Button." This is not 508 compliant per our review team, as the impaired learner expects it to act like a button and attempt to click it.  

Is there anything wrong here that can be fixed, so JAWS does not read the equation as a button?  

Thank you.
