Black Florida lawmakers blast DeSantis over AP African American studies

handles the issue of race in Florida could provide insight into the policies he will propose related to racial inequality in America if he launches a 2024 presidential campaign.The Florida Department of Education sent the College Board, the nonprofit organization that oversees the AP program, aclaiming that the African American Studies course is “inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.

Black lawmakers in the state legislature and on Capitol Hill have criticized the decision given the role of Black people in American history.tweeted Thursday. "Leaders like him are the reason why Florida has seen a huge surge in hate crimes and acts of racism over the last two years. Kids deserve to go to school to learn history, not hate."

Florida state senator Shevrin Jones said in a statement: "Gov. DeSantis’ whitewashing of history and book bans are his latest assault on American history and our First Amendment rights. Horrifyingly, it is our vulnerable and underrepresented students who will suffer the most as a result."

Good cause from Obama era till now all we been having kass all about rasis and lesbian and men being women men’s having periods having baby this horror off killing baby it’s sickening 😱👽🤡😭

Where is NAACP ACLU ? I know where ByronDonalds and Lavern_Spicer is.

i'm sure Diamond and Silk, minus Diamond will praise this decision.

Hold up. Is someone suggesting that FL public school students aren't capable of learning about African American history WHILE AT THE SAME TIME enjoying their traditional public education classes regarding moonshine making, gator wrangling and cousin kissin'? That doesnt seem fair

Seems like a good time to get over your skin color, stop looking at what other people are doing, and focus on your life.

Why does Republicans hate education so much?

WHY does his face ALWAYS look like he had Taco Bell after last call last night

This is strange strategy-wise too, if he’s planning on running 2024. Shitty thing to do either way

Misinformation. They didn't reject the African Studies, they rejected the curriculum as not appropriate.

😂😂😂 y’all keep voting for “leaders” like this? Don’t get mad when they take you back in time. 🤦🏾‍♂️

The racism in the replies shows DeSantis knows his audience, his constituent base, as he tries to assume trump's mantle. 'African American Studies course is 'inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value'” Not inexplicable

AA history is not important. AA have been a net negative to America

The comparison made to the other AP classes is ridiculous. AP German language and culture teaches you how to speak German and interact in the country. Does AP AA studies teach you how to speak jive?

Proposed grading: Everyone passes and gets college credits. Equity matters.

🤷🏿‍♂️

Good

More lies from the left. The state board of education (not DeSantis) found that the course was historically inaccurate. Black history is already mandated by law to be taught in FL schools.

Guarantee it’s much more than your cherry-picked vague headline, but you do you 6abc. I guess I was lucky. I actually took an African American History class, as one of my social studies credits, when I went to high school in FL in the early 2000s. That class taught me a lot, and I'm better for having taken it. A copy and paste article from CNN. 6abc is so bad they won't even write their own propaganda, they just copy someone else's. Lazy and fake 🥱 Must be too busy kissing Krasner's ass.
