Ron “Don’t Say Gay” DeSantis just suffered a humiliating rebuke to one of his authoritarian demands
via Politico. “Doing so would break the fundamental promise of AP: colleges wouldn’t broadly accept that course for credit and that course wouldn’t prepare students for success in the discipline.”In my conversations with ordinary Americans, the issue of AP Psychology comes up all the time.

https://t.co/UqinLTbUP4The College Board is NOT PLAYING GAMES with the DeSantis admin as they try to water down AP Psychology!After requesting LGBTQ lessons be removed from the course, AP responded, “we will not modify our courses to accommodate restrictions teaching essential, college-level topics.”This is DeSantis’ second high-profile fight with The College Board, whose Advanced Placement program offers 40 courses that are taught across the country.
Last year, DeSantis demanded the organization alter components of its African American studies class, including lessons on the Black Lives Matter movement and the concept of reparations.
