Yes. Suddenly everyone is an African American Studies scholar.

And apparently nobody is more qualified to determine what makes sense for African Americans to study but a white conservative dude from Florida

African American Studies isn’t only “for African Americans to study.”

It’s a legitimate academic field with experts who teach it. Why should dumbasses have a veto over the curriculum? Should we also crowdsource the AP Biology so the fundamentalist evolution deniers are comfortable with it?

Because Republicans in Florida own the whole state it's going to be horrific for college students anyone sending kids there OOS is just dumb.

…who used to tach history and tell his students that the Civil War wasn’t about slavery.

Meanwhile next door in Alabama students were told they couldn't talk about slavery or civil rights as part of a black history program.

Is this the “nothing before the 1970s” history course that the KKK in Alabama has okayed?

I say we move the capital of the US to Tallahassee.

Leaders there make sense and clearly work to protect the general interest. Kinda the opposite of what happens here in DC.

Please explain. How does it "make sense and protect the general interest" to censor and suppress the teaching of actual US history?

Very simple. What happened was the opposite of what you said happened. The College Board got rid of the woke stuff that had nothing to do with AA Studies and should have never ever been there. Want to study Intersectional Queer Radicalism for Dummies? Be my guest, but don't try to shovel that into an AA Studies AP class.

See? Very simple. Florida protected the general interest of teaching actual history, not propaganda.

I disagree with the bolded. What is your academic qualification to make this assessment?
