Desantis censors education and free speech
If you didn't research and read why desantis didn't like PART of the curriculum, maybe you should be quiet. There are enough media parrots.
Shame on the Board for caving.This is how Marxism starts,erase history and forbid education

This us insane. I don't see understand how desantis can legally pull books and delete the teaching of history . How is this legal
Great. I’m sure it will be approved.

College Board Shrinks Advanced-Placement Curriculum for African-American StudiesThe College Board released a revised version of its curriculum for a new advanced-placement class that covers African-American studies days after the draft was denounced by the governor of Florida as “indoctrination” So was there play then 'Let's see if we can get this through and if we get caught, we'll send them the revised version but we'll only change the name of the chapters and leave most of that stuff in' Good for DeSantis. Easy target for conservative politicians & media. Lever it professors to rebrand the same lesson plan, to get notoriety, federal grants, book deals, & press coverage all to the detriment of progress. Getting bogged down by titles & branding is not what teaching is about.
