College Board to update AP African American Studies framework rejected by DeSantis, Florida. Thanks to Gov Ron DeSantis' principled stand for education over identity politics, the College Board will be revising the course for the entire nation.
The Florida Department of Education will review the changes for compliance once resubmitted.
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The College Board, the non-profit organization that designs and manages the Advanced Placement courses in the United States, announced the rejected pilot program of their AP African American Studies course would be updated.
The course was recently rejected from use in the state of Florida, with state officials saying the proposed study course “lacks educational value and historical accuracy.
As submitted, the course is a vehicle for a political agenda and leaves large, ambiguous gaps that can be filled with additional ideological material, which we will not allow,” such as Critical Race Theory.
Additional commentary from Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz, Jr. said the state “proudly” mandates the teaching of African American history, but does “not accept woke indoctrination masquerading as education.”
They invited the College Board to revise the course for compliance with Florida law, 2022’s House Bill 7, the Stop WOKE Act, which banned teaching CRT in Florida schools.
The rejection has drawn criticism from Democratic Florida lawmakers and the White House.
