When Florida Governorfrom his state’s curriculum, he conveniently left out an important fact.

Now DeSantis is trying to sell a populist pitch that APs aren’t worth the trouble, despite benefiting from the highly sought after curriculum on his way to an Ivy League education. “This course on Black history, what’s one of the lessons about?” DeSantis said at a press conference in January blasting the new class. “Queer Theory. Now, who would say that’s an important part of Black history, Queer Theory? That is somebody pushing an agenda on our kids.”

Yea he is rewriting it

He learned some Black history once and has been pissed about it ever since

Even the 'Christian' schools have pedophiles

Let's be real DeSantis is creating a new distraction away from the real issues in classrooms across the state of Florida...PEDOPHILES. The FLDoE is handing out certificates to anyone with a degree which has created an issue they are trying to hide. First, it was CRT now it's AP.

Hypocrite

The Daily Bleat has lost it.

A two person byline, released late on a Friday night, about a yearbook. What a serious publication.

Now do school choice.

This shit worked on trump bc he loved to fight with these guys and had such an open and shady past w his name in everything. Desantis just ignores them so these journals are dredging up if dude took AP tests 😂😂😂I mean cmon

And?

He took AP US History, not AP Queer Theory or something. APUSH is not a joke course like AP Afr. Am. Hist.
