The administration of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says the high school course violates state law and is historically inaccurate
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration has blocked a new Advanced Placement course on African American studies from being taught in high schools, saying it violates state law and is historically inaccurate.
“In the future, should College Board be willing to come back to the table with lawful, historically accurate content, will always be willing to reopen the discussion,” the letter continued. 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.
