African American AP course now offered to high schools across the U.S.

For the first time in academic history, high school students across the nation now have the option to take an African American Advanced Placement course.

“AP African American Studies will introduce a new generation of students to the amazingly rich cultural, artistic, and political contributions of African Americans,” said Trevor Packer, senior vice president of AP and instruction at the College Board. “We hope it will broaden the invitation to Advanced Placement and inspire students with a fuller appreciation of the American story.”

One of the schools to offer the African American AP course this fall is Florida State University Schools in Tallahassee, taught by social studies instructor Marlon Williams-Clark. Clark, 35, told NBC News he first heard about the course in March, when he was appointed to teach it. He started teaching two African American AP courses on Aug. 8 to predominately Black juniors and seniors.

So when are we going to add AP German American History, AP Scottish American History, AP Japanese American History, etc? I think this is garbage. Why add one type about American history and ignore all the others? This sounds like racist bull crap.

I majored in AAS in college.

California kids can’t read. Maybe start with the basics first.

I actually love this!

Since we’ve been focusing intently on negro education,60-70 years, what has we accomplished?

My money is on Asians getting better scores than African Americans!

😂🤣😂

I took several AA studies courses in college in lieu of a foreign language, and I’m glad I did. Learning the lived experiences of the black diaspora made me a better person.

This is nonsense, ebonics went out with the George Foreman Grill

What’s the course going to teach, lack of parenting and crime?

It's 2022.... What took so long?

“AP African American classes are RACIST!!!!” - African American students when their Asian and white classmates set the curve on every test at 100%.

hopefully they take field trips to Detroit Baltimore Chicago

Cool..... Next critical theory and capitalism.

Florida ain’t having that

American with African facilities !

Students in Florida, Texas, and other areas with restrictions on a diverse curriculum will eventually suffer when college admissions choose more well rounded applicants from elsewhere.

Hawaii teaches Hawaiian studies…I think in 8 th grade or that was my experience here so long ago!

Should be required to be taught in schools, not just optional.
