This is a disgrace. These changes are clearly in response to the pressure that politicians have applied to the College Board. This is a clear attack on academic freedom and the ability of scholars to determine the content of their courses.

Scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw on the new “segregation” of knowledgeKimberlé Crenshaw – the scholar who gave us ‘intersectionality’ – discusses the recent decision by the College Board to water down its AP African American studies coursework following attacks by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
