Educator and community activist Ted Victor was outraged when he learned Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had decided an Advanced Placement African American studies course his daughter planned to take “significantly lacks educational value.”
DeSantis’ crusade on diversity and race comes in a state, colonized by the Spanish, where the intersections of Black, Latino and Indigenous culture and history abound. The first Generation Z member of the U.S. Congress, Rep. Maxwell Frost, is a Florida Democrat who identifies as Afro Cuban. But the AP course is not African American history, it is African studies, which touches on culture and intersections of identities, said Brandt Robinson, who holds a master’s degree in African American studies and is in his 26th year of teaching.
The College Board released a revised version of the course, stating the changes had been planned long before DeSantis' criticism. The changes were in the areas DeSantis had blasted, including thethe Black Lives Matter movement and reparations; they are now optional study materials. "Impeding the ability of students to understand the racialized world they live in undermines their ability to gain the knowledge required for making our world truly inclusive and just," she said.
DeSantis aka Benito Mussolini shows his fascist hand.
I thought all RonDeSantisFL did was make certain subjects optional. Subjects in school should be objective and devoid of any bias. Subjects should be like news in the old days, just facts. Any other comments should be in the editorial. CRT is editorial hence not compulsory.
How do y’all decide between “slam,” “rip,” “bash,” and other hyperbolic, violent metaphors to drum up interest?
Wait, not Latinx?
When will do a story on how the term Latinx was made up by white academics?
Diversify programs.
What in the world is a Afro Latino?...
Must be doing something right!
I thought it was Latinx?
It's more about African American queerness and gender than about the actual history.
I suppose you could always move to Chicago, Philadelphia, or DC. I hear they don’t really care what is or isn’t learned in those cities.
How the F you gonna run for president in the greatest country in the world and you HATE black children 🤬
💩
😂🤣😂
So? CRT isn't allowed
Meh, they slam everyone for everything so well done DeSantis!
Isn't that cute. China's balloon inspired Fellow Travelers to launch a new demographic trial balloon of their own. Afro Latino. 😂
It’s Afro-Latinix, bigot
NBC news can't be trusted. (And where do you get a degree in 'Afro Latino' studies?)
I got $150,000 when I applied and got qualified for the program. You don't have to pay them back and you can also apply as well
I finally figured out who DeSantis and his actions are similar to. Mao Zedong and the Chinese “cultural” revolution. History denied and revised. Criticism and different thought suppressed. Restrictions on university and K-12 school education and content. It’s his playbook.
They’re supposed to be upset. He’s building a white only state and no one’s lifting a finger to stop him. No one.
What's an afro-latino scholar?
If anyone would know “dissection” it’s “Afro Latinx” scholars.
“scholars” Ok.
ImpeachFloridaGovernorRonDeSantis
Uh oh. The afro latinos are angry now.
This article says that the college board had revised the course well before Ron DeSantis even asked for revisions. What am I missing.
It’s racist, pure and simple.
?
What’s that saying? “First they came for the woke, and I said nothing…”
BLM and queer theory’s have no place among children
I’m sure that news is like a badge of honor to DeSatan….😒
