so now FL wants to ban AP Psych because it has a section about sexuality and gender

[Anonymous]

NP. I don't know anything about the class and probably FL is being dumb about this.

But AP Psych? This isn't a class that kids should take in high school. AP has jumped the shark. And by adding such a plethora of AP classes, while also diluting them, they have reached their peak and are on the other side now.

AP Psych has been around for decades and has hundreds of thousands of students every year.

Why are conservatives/evangelicals obsessed with sex?

So that's what's wrong with Millennials and Gen Zers.

If you know nothing about the class why are you saying it shouldn't be taught?

It's actually the other way around...

Seriously, nothing encourages teens to have sex more than researching a 3-5 page paper on subject approved by their teachers. /s

Desantis probably thinks they shouldn't go oos anyways. They need to stay in FL and drink his Kool Aid.

I guess Desantis doesn't want future FL psych majors to understand sexuality and gender issues.

Keep Florida Stupid should be his motto.

Florida superintendents were advised Thursday by the state to nix their Advanced Placement Psychology classes unless they exclude any topics related to gender or sexuality, according to The College Board, which oversees the AP program.

Where are the folks who insisted that Desantis only wanted to keep DEI topics out for K-3?

Slippery slope, people.

Why are people in blue states are so concerned about how people in red state govern? I don't see any threads in which republicans concerned about curriculum in Boston or San Francisco?

So... you think what Desantis is doing is fine?

There are many posts on this forum from conservatives posting about how blue states are governed.

Huh I can't imagine maybe it's because DeShIIface is running for president on the slogan of Making America Florida.

—- Because not everyone in red states is “red”. No one should have their educational future crushed because Yale/Harvard DeSantis is playing with the curriculum.

— Perhaps Republicans in Boston or San Francisco put their kids in private school?

— Is there a reason that you ask a question focused on states — and then shift to the curriculum in cities? Issues with a curriculum in a single city are a bit easier to address then issues impacting an entire state.

What “definitions of gender” did you learn back then?

Or did you already know, and didn’t need to be told?
