Florida GovRonDeSantis's office calls White House press secretary K_JeanPierre 'demonstrably incorrect' on AP course claims
Gov. Ron DeSantis's office pushed back on White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for claiming the governor wanted to"block" the study of the history of black people in the United States after he rejected the College Board’s Advanced Placement course for African American studies.
In fact, the teaching of African American History has been expanded in Florida since @GovRonDeSantis took office. https://t.co/eVWRB2f7dY"The study of African American history is not only permitted in FL but required by law," Griffin tweeted."In fact, the teaching of African American History has been expanded in Florida since Governor Ron DeSantis took office."
On Friday, at the White House press briefing, Jean-Pierre called the move by DeSantis's administration"incomprehensible." She added:"They didn't block AP European history. They didn't block our music history. They didn't block our art history. But the state chooses to block a course that is meant for high-achieving high school students to learn about their history of arts and culture. It is incomprehensible."
