Ron DeSantis, rejected a proposed advanced placement (AP) course in African American Studies. The DeSantis administration said the course, which was designed by College Board, defies state law.
In a publicized letter, the Florida DOE noted six areas of course content in the proposed AP course that didn't meet Florida's legal standard of "education not indoctrination."Despite the lies from the Biden White House, Florida rejected an AP course filled with Critical Race Theory and other obvious violations of Florida law.
We proudly require the teaching of African American history. We do not accept woke indoctrination masquerading as education.
