Civil rights attorney Ben Crump threatened to file a lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, his administration and the ban of a proposed Advanced Placement course on African America Studies in Florida high schools on behalf of three Leon County, Fla., school students.
But the College Board removed the names of many Black writers and scholars associated with fraught topics likely to inflame conservatives, such as critical race theory, the queer experience, Black feminism and the Black Lives Matter movement,Sample project ideas include more controversial topics like affirmative action, the AIDS crisis and African American health, gay life and expression and “the complexities of Afrocentricity and Black Nationalism.

Not enough subject matter
Really? Gotta have that Black Queer class huh
Let’s just end the College Board.
Republicans so frightened by a different perspective.
For the College Board to bow to a governor who is a racist and a fascist is despicable!
Why is queer theory forced into an African American studies course?
American schools already teach that white people are the villains of history -- that only white people enslaved, conquered or colonized anyone. On the other hand, American kids are not taught the magnificent accomplishments of Western civilization (white culture).
LoL
Welcome to the most Racists Month of the Year.
Why is queer theory being shoe:horned into African American courses?

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.

Black history class revised by College Board after criticismThe official curriculum for a new Advanced Placement course on African American studies downplays some components that drew criticism from conservatives including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who had threatened to ban the class in his state. In the framework released on Wednesday, topics including Black Lives Matter, slavery reparations and queer life are not part of the exam. The course is currently being tested at 60 schools around the U.S., and the official materials are intended to guide its expansion to hundreds of additional high schools in the next academic year. Just DeSantis The outrage of black student and academics! The worst students, and the group least equipped to be telling anyone anything is angry that literal ideological gibberish isn’t included in an AP course. Makes sense. Why not include Wakanda, too? It‘s as real as the other bullshit.
