"I urge you to maintain your reputation as an academic institution dedicated to the advanced of students and refuse to bow to political pressure that would ask you to rewrite our nation's true, if sometimes unpleasant, history," Pritzker added.

Who's rewriting history? History should be the Truth, not what someone wants it to be. The unvarnished truth.
This is why we need BlackHistoryMonth - because Black history keeps getting outlawed.
BS STORY!! PRITZKER CAN'T EVEN CONTROL HIS OWN HOUSE WITH FAILED POLICIES !! SO HE NEEDS TO STAY IN HIS OWN BACKYARD !!
if its wrote as 'theory', it means its unproven.
No number of servants (Governors) should be able to change history for virtue points. No number of servants should amount to anything resembling a meaningful opinion. You do the work I pay you to do, nothing more. Go back to work.
This is so inflated and not correct your agency can do better wtf
💯
DeSantis is no better than Trump. Another Adolph Hitler in the making.
One governor in fact does not have the power or have the intention of limiting historical fact. He certainly has the power of getting hysterical reaction. Look at what is actually in this AP course.
Next president
“Critics use false equivalencies in attempt to anger uninformed citizens while omitting key facts” Fixed the headline for you.
NPR screaming into the blue void
NPR is all fiction bought and paid for by the highest donor.
Shocking NPR edited the issue to seem racist. The issue is not black history, but gay black history and a curriculum that is only CRT, which is illegal in the state of Florida.
Who does have the authority to regulate curriculum taught in classes? From what I see both sides have it wrong and neither should have it. One side wants to wash it clean and the other wants to vilify the other.
Fact: the United States has been out of Slavery longer than it had slavery.
He’s a narcissist who enjoys the press.
Thank god other governors are calling him out. Someone has to do something about this maniac!!! Please. DeSantisDestroysFlorida
AP US covers African American history in depth
They don't need to know a black man invented their 'Swamp Coolers'
npr is a dishonest Democrat mouth piece. This has nothing to do with 'teaching history'. DeSantis banned the class because it included 'queer theory' and other agenda-driven nonsense.
History is written by the winners. Conspiracies are thought up by the losers.
The course rewrites history. DeSantis is a Rockstar
We are a republic … FL can do what is best for FL
He doesn’t. The FLDOE does. And what they say for our children goes. That curriculum was riddled with CRAP.
Instead of focusing on banning black history teach students about ethics; whatever happened to civics classes; teach students how the government is suppose to work; or better yet how to handle personal finances.
AP courses are already loaded with propaganda.
👃👃
How is dictating facts? He just doesn't want young children exposed to sexual ideas in school. Let parents speak to their children about those issues.
LeaBlackMiami Ban Desantoes Ban Abutt Ban Turd Crooze Ban MTG Ban Gaytz Ban Gym Shorts Jordan Ban Lauren Babble Ban Kevin McCartoon Ban McCrookle Ban Geore Fantos-C Ban Alito Ban Criminal Republiclowns.
'Dictate the facts'. Comprehensibility is obviously not a big concern of Pritzker.
CRT is not history it is a racial essentialist framing of history
DeSantis appeals to the worst people.
Yep not learning African Queer theory is going to keep the mass of smart young Floridians from their Ivey league degrees.
I don't understand why people are surprised about this. Your history books told you Columbus discovered the new world, Lincoln freed the slaves, the Alamo was for freedom, Washington was the 1st president, USA went to war to save the Jewish people, Thanksgiving happened. All lies
And 13% of the population shouldn't be allowed to make up their own history
Bahahahaha
So now history is negotiable? Fact is Fact. Everyone knows this is not about history anyway.
Long Live LYNYRD SKYNYRD
Of course, he can't have any of those 'smart coloreds' walking around the state and all in the schools, don't ya know
Another lie by npr. Do some research and you’ll find that this is false. npr spouting lies
Did you folks see the project veritas video that is going viral all overt the world? Looks pretty bad.
This country has been VIOLENT from the beginning. This society encourages/rewards VIOLENCE, toxic male masculinity, anger, lack of impulse control …from sports, games,guns to the classroom. And then folk wonder HOW/WHY police officers can be so brutal. VIOLENCE is our life!
RussianCollusionHoax continues
NPR is biased trash, nobody cares what Pritzker thinks either.
He doesn't and the College Board said so.
Note topic 4.15, CRT author Kimberlé Crenshaw, and topic 4.19 * Black queer studies. What do those have to do with “the facts of U.S. history”?
Fact is, the world doesn't revolve around race. If it did, wouldn't have to beg for money
That is Ron DeathSantis. Responsible for thousands of Floridians dying of COVID-19. He has been fully vaccinated. What a damn hypocrite.
My governor shut down 90+% of all commerce in my state because he chose to rely on panic rather than reason. The economy is still suffering for it. Why worry about bogus high school classes that line the pockets of the CollegeBoard but typically do not earn college credits?
If we have pubic education, then the government determines what is taught. If you want freedom, that fight for School Choice, and voucher system of education.
CheriJacobus And yet he does. What to do.
Three high school students don't get to set the curriculum for any school. If they want they can finish their education, go to college and run for governor, and set a curriculum their voters support.
CheriJacobus Americans need to ban GovRonDeSantis and his authoritarian attitude. He is NOT what our country needs.
JBPritzker Something you did I can stand behind I see you have decided to come to Rockford to fix Alpine Road
There is no academic freedom in the US, right? 🤔
What’s Ron afraid of? Oh, the truth.
You can teach Civil Rights and black history without having to inject queer theory, which is the main sticking point. I know nobody wants to actually read past any headlines, but I thought I would try.
Black Queer History does not need to be taught in public K-12 schools.
Can we have a White American History course ?
All I want to know is why are Republicans so terrified of black people?
Ask Pritzker what he mandates in Illinois schools.
nobody gives a shit about Illinois. he needs to worry about his own disgusting garbage state.
Pritzker has a lot to say for a guy whose family is extremely connected to Jeffery Epstein.
J.B. Pritzker will never be President so he just needs to sit down and shut his swollen mouth.
Learn it on your own time.
That should be exclusive up to the 1619 project
DeSantis is the epitome of evil and hate.
So Florida the Free Speech state is now the Free Speech* state?
The Governor of Illinois should focus on Illinois, not Florida.
DeSantis must be killing it. He’s in everyone’s head.
Taking a page from Bill Barr's crooked book. 'History is written by the victors!' —Bill Barr, CBS This Morning “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell, 1984
GovPritzker is doing a fine job himself of dictating U.S. history. Only he does it by violating his oath to support/defend the Constitution
Pritzker is butthurt about the resistance to turning kids into eunuchs in FL. He’s a monster.
We need to ban Florida from the United States.
Maybe spritzer should worry about Illinois and not Florida.
Is this not rewriting history ?
Let's get real: We'll never agree on a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Let everyone brainwash their own kids as they see fit. schoolchoice
If was actually what they proposed as African American studies, but it’s a bunch of woke crap! Read it before posting your “headline” 🇺🇸
Hiding the history ain’t gonna change it This type of white washing needs to end
So dishonest... He isn't rejecting African American studies... He is opposing the hijacking of black history to include sexual training that the black community would outright reject if they knew what was really being pushed...
CheriJacobus The federal government should be immediately shutting off all education funds to that shithole.
DeSantis is a pro American Governor not a Chinese woke puppet like Pritzker
Can you charge RonDeSantisFL with CivilRights violations? splcenter GovPritzker
Forcing the narrative on others in the new GOP
Trump 2024
Ok and one unelected federal reserve board should not own this country and all its citizens red or blue, but that is the case since I think 1912. So.
A white person who approves of the governor is a racist. MAGA is modern kkk
For his health, I think we should ban J.B. Pritzker from McDonald's.
good
Made up BS. Nothing about the governor violating peoples 2nd amendment rights, but a communist NPR wouldn't mention that.
Well he does if that history that he’s debating isn’t real or true. Like the 1619 project, almost completely fabricated history.
A revised version of the AP course will be reviewed next week. People just assume rather than determine the truth of the matter.
alanfriedmanit There are some bad precedents
Exactly. All of US history included. Would that then include the monuments demolished just in the past few years? The monuments removed from the US Capitol building?
That is how it starts. But better watch out, I called him a dictator, and all those Florida sheep got BAAAA-ANGRY at me.
Shocking:
Wonder if he moved to ban lost cause mythology
Shameless NPR. They position a political opponent of the FL governor as some kind of expert on African American AP courses. The course included CRT and Queer Theory and DeSantis eliminated it as it has nothing to do with Black History.
Then governor then went on to say: 'only the president should be allowed to do that!'
Says the governor demanding that LGBTQIA+ be taught in AP African American studies courses. Two sides of the same coin. Lesson learned: neither party can be trusted to teach my kid about his own history. It’s up to me.
Pritzker should worry about his own failing state, from which his citizens are fleeing. NPR, maybe you should do a story on government corruption in Illinois instead of focusing on the Pritzker’s jeslousy of Florida.
Kids going to school in Florida will have an asterisk by their names to indicate their education was limited and had many gaps. Colleges take note.
Trump is gonna talk right over this guy and it'll be over for Ron DeSantis '24.
The only surprise is that DeSantis did not wait until Feb. 1, the beginning of African-American history month, to enact this CancelCulture. Usually, he's more calculating in his divisiveness.
DeSantis basically wants our history to be changed to suit him. That's not going to work. Our history has been established and like it or not. It happened.
npr - bug off
For private? Or for taxpayer funded? And while we are at it we should allow nazee studies, alchemy instead of chermistry and astrology because muh left wing anti right reasons
Will he attempt to rewrite The Bible: Daniel 7: 9; Revelation 1: 14-15
Where is SACS?
Ask parents of LAUSD in CA, where 46% of Blacks fail to graduate High School (HIGH SCHOOL!!)…., if they need a focus on Black History. If they’re Black and failing, they’ll say You Bet! Everyone else: Hell to the No!
Well, he’s doing it. Nothing stopping him. Kinda like that guy down in Mar a Lago.
State-sponsored racial hatred and discrimination.
I suggest people watch the PBS program on Reconstruction following the Civil War. The Daughters of the Confederacy were allowed to 'whitewash' the cause, claimed slaves were happy well treated. Do you think Germany would have allowed the teaching of alternate reality/history?
Lmao what a fucking joke this has become
Get the story straight . Tired of the bullshit spin.
Well done governor! There is no white history class....keep it neutral.
Just another Illinois governor that will be charged with corruption.
There's African American studies and there's Woke studies. Which do you think Gov. DeSantis is referring to? The left leaning tries to blur the line between the two.
Yeah, I am sure your facts are better!🤔
DeSantis is pandering to fear in his base. He is nothing more than a political hack.
At this time, Critical Race Theory (African American studies AP course) is the biggest weapon in the Democrats political arsenal. And Governor DeSantis recognizes this. This is how it should be done. Never give in to the Marxist indoctrinators.
Listen to WHY he banned it! It contains a plethora of indoctrination and is not educational…lose the piss poor TPs JB🤬
So you want to, but he can’t?
If you are falling for this latest deception by the media, you are gullible.
He needs to go
History is repeating itself. Be aware.
IL doesn’t even have this AP course….
Haven’t we already seen this play out in Virginia? At it’s core, CRT is identity politics and divides ppl into two categories: the oppressed vs the oppressors which facilitates victimhood mentality. Surely, telling little kids that they are oppressors isn’t the answer.
Important to keep kids dumb enough to vote Republican
DeSantis needs a full stop and learn from a man of great stature as is prior MA Republican Gov. Charlie Baker.
RussianCollusionHoax/Coup continues
It's kinda uncomfortable when to teach history, you most admit that the USA government massively imprisoned black people and used them as slave labor, specially in states such as... Florida!
But it’s ok to tear down statues? Get a life Governor Jelly Belly
Schools should not teach CRT.
So the Governor of IL is crying out against what he is doing. the Govenor of FL is keeping false narrative out of school.
Defund NPR
Florida state curriculum requires the teaching of black history. The AP course is loaded with bogus social theories and revisionist interpretations of history that is already mandatorily taught. Consider that College Board CHARGES for these courses, which have no practical value
'Florida has gone from Don't Say Gay to Don't Say Black.'
Quit being a shill for the Dems. He banned the course because it included 'queer theory' and other agenda-driven nonsense.
No, but a governor like GovRonDeSantis as a check to the tremendous power of the progressive left and the corrupt media, like NPR we DO need. Who says the curriculum is not totally slanted left is naive.
Wondering why America does not have an AP course on the hate and attacks by both black and white democrats on my Irish Catholic family in racist 1800 Philadelphia because of their religious beliefs, white skin and their citizenship status. Yep also slavery.
Who ever designed the AAAP course is entirely to blame. . . It wasn’t banned because of the AA history content. . . It was nixed because of the propaganda contained in it.
so, black history is queer history? thanks npr.
CRT is racist 🗑️, you can’t rewrite history either!
This is so disingenuous! These are not 'African-American studies'... If you read the curriculum (which I implore you to do) you will see it's only about separating races between victims and oppressors. The last thing kids need is to get out of high school feeling oppressed.
He”s not banning African American studies and you know it . Since when is “Queer theory” part of AA history?
But the ‘facts of US history’ are not facts or truthful at all, but mostly false and misinformation……good for DeSantis in removing fake information
the National College Board agreed with DeSantis and is rewriting the AP course to remove the queer theory, etc.
FL already offers African American history courses - the objection to the AP was confined to just a few items
History tells of a German leader who wanted to erase the lives of other races from the world. DeSantis is an obvious relative of that leader. He is planning his post gubernatorial book: Mein Kampf- The DeSantis Chapters.
More race baiting drivel.If schools would stop spreading the lies & re-written false history of Marxist CRT & completely debunked 1619 Project nonsense & just teach actual history then Gov's wouldn't have to step in. Required reading : Debunking the 1619 Project- by Mary Grabar.
“Well . . . I believe, when statesmen forsake their own private conscience for the sake of their public duties . . . they lead their country by a short route to chaos.” - A Man for All Seasons (Robert Bolt)
Thank You Ron. Keep standing up to the bulling woke!
One proudly open ignorant racist governor should be able to white wash history just because he is a scared little man who wants to compensate for his inadequacy through power .
BS is not history. HYPE is not history. BS and HYPE have no place in Public Education.
Wokeism is dying..... You took it too far
That’s because most republicans are fascists.
I just find it funny how Republicans have th don’t tread on me for show but in practice they are please daddy tread on me more
Defund NPR
If in fact it was a course in American history he wouldn’t have a problem. The fact that there is queerism and intersectionalism in the course…. BIG PROBLEM!!!
Don’t worry. Teachers will continue to laugh at his political theatrics and still teach the difficult lessons and repercussions of slavery and segregation. He’s going after the low-hanging-fruit votes and we all know it (including him).
Pritzker vs. DeSantis for the Presidential election in 2024.
Fatty Pritker will have the diabetes soon
Why is NPR anti republican
Gov. Ron DeSantis' kicks ass and is getting more popular. People don't care what the media says anymore. So suck it up.
Banning books and speech, authoritarians like DeSantis reject American freedom and culture
It's always interesting when one side accuses the other side of doing exactly what they're doing.
Thank you GovRonDeSantis for protecting our children from Marxist ideology!
Wouldn't be a problem if it was ONLY African American studies.
Pritzker is doing the same thing, only the opposite direction. And DeSantis didn't 'reject African American studies.' That's a flat-out, bald-faced, knowing lie. If you believe it, it's because you want to believe it, and have no interest in finding out if it's true.
Radical Marxists don't get to rewrite history either
I think Florida should get swallowed up by the sea. Won't be long..
