The College Board says it will release a new framework for the AP course in African American Studies that was blocked by the administration of Gov. DeSantis from being offered in Florida high schools.

The nonprofit organization, which oversees the nationwide Advanced Placement program, announced that on Feb. 1 it would"release the official framework" for an AP African American Studies course, which it said has been under development since March.

The organization had said that it was piloting the course at 60 high schools and that it routinely gathers feedback before it offers its courses more broadly. "We are glad the College Board has recognized that the originally submitted course curriculum is problematic, and we are encouraged to see the College Board express a willingness to amend," Alex Lanfranconi, a spokesperson for the agency, said in a statement.

So he wants them to 🤥 lie

Ron DeSantis is keeping Woke from using Black history to promote their agenda only. Just like bill claimed to be about gay. Really was teaching kindergarten up about adult sex instead.

How many states teach A. P. German American history? 17 % of the population while African Americans are only 12.5%. Asian American history? 20% of population. Latino history? 20% of population. American Indian history? 9% of population (those not murdered).

Meanwhile DeSantis allows fake nursing diplomas.

How can he be so blatantly racist and still be elected for office?

Ron Desantis 2024 🎉🎉🎉

Or they can fight law in court as violating 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.

The state finally announced last week that it was rejecting the course, pointing to six areas of concern and works by Kimberlé W. Crenshaw, bell hooks, Angela Davis and other Black authors. Black queer studies is also included in the course. Here’s a book by Kimberlé Crenshaw.

This is not good news.

Look, history is about all of us. Not about blacks. This communist attack on usa has got to stop. Teach AMERICAN history. Far more important to teach kids that governments can be corrupt and must be managed carefully for the benefit of all Americans.

Biggest fraud in America and that's saying a lot

Noooo!! Don't give in to the bloviating national governor.

Grooming kids with right-wing ideology one course at a time

Why can't it be presented honestly and accurately, no bias? Fair question!

Floridas stance against identity politics? 🤣

He disgusts me

Teach history and not divisive woke indoctrination and they’ll be fine 😏

💙Dictatorship💙🙏

See…standing up to the jerks actually works. DeSantis for President.

I'm willing to show 10 lucky people on how to earn 0.67BTC ($15,000)and more daily. No withdrawal fee You don't get to send funds to anyone DM if interested

All to serve one man’s political ambitions. Sorry y’all but get over it, America is going to stay a diverse Nation & it’s way past time we taught history not just from a white perspective. It’s not about WP guilt, it’s about the rich tapestry of this Country.

DeSantis Is A Bigot

I would like ap European American studies to be a course so children can learn how Europeans created almost everything and conquered everyone else bc they were back water hicks

🤨

Glad they decided to do the right thing a teach real facts and not propaganda

Florida Bans African American Studies CourseFlorida is barring high school students from taking a new advanced placement course on African American studies, claiming the lessons run “contrary” to state law and that it “significantly lacks educational value.” What do you think? Next DeSantis will demand that no one can say African-American. 😂 I'd say it's 50/50, that this is parody.

Here's the AP African American Studies course rejected by FloridaGOP Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration said it was an attempt at 'indoctrinating' high school students. 'George Santos' should become Republican, and especially Trump's latest 'attorney': One of the Liars, Cheats, Thugs, Grifters, Election Crap-Artists; perfect Member of the Party. EVERY RIGHT-WING PERSONS' HERO(s). I wonder if an AP course in Caucasian studies would draw rancor from MSM? He is probably just upset because 'African American studies' is what his wife calls it when she takes her phone with her in the bath

DeSantis defends banning African American studies course as Black leaders call for actionGov. Ron DeSantis on Monday stood by Florida’s decision to reject students’ access to an AP course on African American studies as outrage mounts surrounding the move, particularly among Black leaders. Absurd! High school students need to learn about Queer Theory as part of learning about African American History. Fascism in action. African American studies and Queer theory are not “agendas”… they are a fact of life and reality.
