Driving the news:does not require teaching on topics including Black Lives Matter or the case for reparations, two topics that were opposed by DeSantis.
The curriculum on slavery, reconstruction and the civil rights movement remains relatively unchanged in the curriculum.The Florida State Board of Education and DeSantis earlier this month tried to block the new AP course, telling the College Board that it is "contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value."that defines people as oppressed or privileged based on their race.
The College Board has destroyed its credibility. Most other states and no serious college or university will consider AP scores now. More & more colleges & universities ignore AP exams as it is.
A sickening business decision, pure and simple 🤮 Who will stop this fascist and his gang?
They now refer to black people as 'off-white'
It still seems wrong to me to capitalize “black”. It’s a written confirmation that blacks get special treatment.
So we're going to teach non-diversity and exclusion since it is grounded in history Weird....
Republicans on the College Board?
AP College Board are trash
The Third Wave of AmericanFascism:
Fascism wins. Vile.
On the first day of Black history month. Imagine that.
nobody objects to teaching civil war, reconstruction, and the civil rights movement...
All American history courses must be acceptable to the Governor of the state of Florida form now on
Nothing like succumbing to a bully to show your lack of principled backbone.... can you imagine this elevated on a national scale at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Be careful what you vote for America
DeSantis Country.
