Florida blocks instruction of high school AP African American studies class

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —

Florida education officials did not specify exactly what content the state found objectionable but said, “As presented, the content of this course is inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.” In a statement, the College Board said, “Like all new AP courses, AP African American Studies is undergoing a rigorous, multi-year pilot phase, collecting feedback from teachers, students, scholars and policymakers.”

The College Board website describes the course as interdisciplinary, touching on literature, arts, humanities, political science, geography and science. The pilot program is debuting at 60 schools across the country before it expands to additional schools. The organization has been working on constructing the course for more than a decade, according to its website.

DeSantis represents Political Destruction with his propaganda program to run for President, filled with Liar Politics. The Florida Voter is not paying attention to his criminal type activity. Republicans seem in love this guy.😏👎

This is just so sad.

I see lawsuits being filed. I live in Fl and DeSantis continues to take away our rights. Banning books, discussion of history, can't talk about being gay and now this and more. He is blatantly racist! He clearly wants a good ole boy white state! He disgusts me.

How would he know it’s historically inaccurate? I live in Florida - he’s a disgrace

It is CRT in disguise. Tell the truth when you write these stories! I guess you forgot the facts. Shameful!

Its important to say that it would be an elective course. For anyone who will say 'white kids should be forced to feel bad that they're white.' No one is trying to do that. People should not be afraid of history.

And the last president paid hookers 🤣🤣🤣

I have nothing nice to say

Ronnette is scum

You can correct the inaccuracies without throwing out the whole course. What is the problem with actually teaching young adults about the origin of one of the most populous 'races' in this country? BTW if that is against state law - fix the law.

This man is really pandering to the Trump lickers. They couldn’t even get Trump re-elected. I think DeSantis needs a reality check. He’s going to have to appeal to more voters than just MAGA’s to get elected…..

Think you may need a coarse on African American history,sir

Your social media person needs to be better about correcting lies in the headlines rather than simply amplifying fascist propaganda. There is no US History without Black history and the only reason it’s a separate course to begin with is because we whitewash our history.

Duh Santis claims he is the absolute authority on what is considered as historical and vows to replace Black studies by jew studies because they be God pipu from bibu.

What a piece of garbage!

does he also propose that students enrolled in florida that happen to be Black can't discuss their own family's history, too?

Gov.

Explain how this is freedom He blocked another view of CRT. He doesn't feel it's right to blame Caucasian kids born around 2010 for wrongs 160 yrs ago. Ron, It is merely a history class. As history has being re-written to dictate untruths to our children, about the history of human kind. The narrative has being re-written to favor white supremacy. These narratives are untrue; that is contrary to the law!

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.
