Florida Department of Education rejects AP African American Studies course

And DeSantis answers back the only he knows how, through deep-seated, string-armed retaliation with no regard to consequences.

He’s now going to ban ALL AP courses in Florida schools. It certainly hurts our students, it certainly depreciates our universities, but DeSantis gets to be the tough guy. I’m just grateful that my kids graduated high school years ago and don’t need to worry about his degradation of our system.

DeSantis ponders ending AP classes for Florida students

 

And here he is threatening to kick AP out of Florida. I can’t imagine his voters supporting his efforts to make their kids less competitive. What a flaming idiot. Glad my kids are not in HS in Florida.

 

He's a petulant, little bully just like Donald Trump.

 

The full letter is even better than that

College Board Commitment to AP African American Studies – All Access

College Board called the FDOE and asked if the state of Florida had any requests or suggestions.

 

FYI, here is the final framework that was completed last year, long before the guv pitched his hissy fit.

Looks like a great class.

 

Oh yeah, that definitely violates the Stop WOKE Act. They're not teaching both sides of the Civil Rights Movement. It's really not fair to the White Citizens Council.

 

Gov Huckabee says wait for us. School starts today.

The Arkansas Department of Education tells Popular Information that it will not count AP African American Studies for graduation credit and teachers/schools that offer the course anyway risk violating Arkansas law on “prohibited topics”

Arkansas education department nixes AP African American Studies course at last minute

 

This just seems to be a can of worms kind of situation. The teachers will have the latitude in this course to go all over the place…including off topic as many libbies are prone to do.
I could see this course causing race issues as the discourse could heat up and divide the classroom quickly.
Perhaps these politicians are two steps ahead of you.

 

Yeah, that’s likely it. Arkansas politicians are just being progressive here. I’m sure that’s it.

 

Disappointing. History will not be kind to the current oppressors. I truly hope that this will be but a blip in our history.

 

I agree but not like you think.
When the libbies stop with calling everything that moves racist….you’ll see others trust their children in the libbie dominated education domain.
It’s fascinating that our country has come so far and yet the left cannot quit the racial division.
It’s almost as if they don’t want it to go away. Sad as hell.

 

Credit to them for being honest, but I'd be gearing up to sue them if I was an attorney in Arkansas.
