Florida bans AP African-American Studies course from schools

[Anonymous]

this is how authoritarians win

So how are students supposed to have classes that teach the topics that the AP has dropped?

White Power indeed.

My point is that we will not know about other curricula pushing opinion unless we open them up too. Is the Chinese Language and Culture AP making negative statements about communism? Is so, that would be wrong, and it should be pulled.

Wait, you think it is wrong to acknowledge that the US has never been a place of equality and liberty for ALL of its inhabitants? The truth hurts too much to learn and become better?

Does Newsome have the cohones to ban the class in California is response to the revisions? The college board caved because they didn't want the class excluded from one of the largest states in the country, California could easily make that decision much more painful.

The controversial subjects have been made into options for a research project. This makes more sense than being a part of the required curriculum. College Board improved the class with these revisions.

DP. Those weren't the controversial parts of the AA Studies class. What point are you trying to make?

You are probably the same person who would scream about Campus Free Expression. All of those subjects are discussed in the Black community. The class is about the discussion, not indocrination.

The controversial-and-now-optional subjects are not Black issues, they are progressive issues. It's a bit insulting to tack them onto an AA Studies class, tbh.

Yes, indeed.
And, it is important to note that even African American history teachers had huge concerns about the original curriculum. Competent teachers, that is.

Leon County Commissioner Bill Proctor, a Black Democrat, agreed with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, R., last week that a proposed AP African American history course that was rejected by the state's Department of Education constitutes propaganda rather than a legitimate educational curriculum. DeSantis blocked the course on grounds that it violated the Sunshine State's Stop WOKE Act that was passed last year.

"I think it’s trash," Proctor said about the curriculum.

"There is grave concern about the tone and the tenor of leadership’s voice from the highest spaces in our state being hostile to teaching of African American history," he noted, according to Tallahassee Reports.

"Well frankly I’m against the College Board’s curriculum. I think it’s trash. It’s not African American history. It is ideology," Proctor continued.

"I’ve taught African American history, I’ve structured syllabuses for African American history. I am African American history. And talking about ‘queer’ and ‘feminism’ and all of that for the struggle for freedom and equality and justice has not been no tension with queerness and feminist thought at all," he argued.

It certainly is.

Quite ironic that DeSantis is actually protecting AA Studies.

They are only controversial to white people of privilege who have used their power to degrade the class experience.

The fact you cannot understand the point made previously is a tell.

See, that's the propaganda which is your right to believe but not to teach in public schools.

Thanks Florida! Looks like AP just got rid of the bs to preserve the AA Studies part.
