Florida bans AP African-American Studies course from schools

[Anonymous]

Lots of private schools have gotten rid of AP classes. Are you clutching your pearls about that too?

I take it you've never been to the Private School forum.

I understand that there are good people who live there, too, but JFC that state looks like a pile of trash. Getting rid of AP classes out of spite?

Um... which AP classes have been "gotten rid of"? None. Not even this one.

Thank you.

Republicans being annoyingly pedantic is one of my peeves of modern life.

My kids went to a lot of private schools, including international. None of them ever had AP classes.

They got rid of those because they were racist.

But this one was designed not to be racist because it incorporated CRT and other racist stuff.

Oh wait.

In the latest related news….

Tampa Bay news is reporting that state officials in Florida are considering a “classical and Christian alternative” to the SAT. “Classical” means Western-centric, of course. I’d love to see what the Christian content is. I guess this is supposed to be the “anti-woke” perspective, according to the right. Sounds about white to me!

Classical: Latin (and Greek) and the principles of the Enlightenment on which our country and culture are founded.

You'd prefer to replace it with...?

“…and Christian alternative.”

This country was also founded on the principle of the separation of church and state and fascists like you are happy to ignore that.

It’s also not really an “alternative” when the AP African American class appears to be unavailable due to the Grand High Dragon shooting it down.

I think the bigger problem will be this:

Roughly 200 largely faith-based schools across the country accept the [alternative]assessment. Ten of them are in Florida, including Stetson University, Ave Maria University, Reformation Bible College, Palm Beach Atlantic University, Pensacola Christian College and Trinity Baptist College.

Guess it's okay if you're applying to a "faith-based school"--but what if you want to go to a secular one?

Let's look at what he actually said.....

Watch the video. Don't just read the tweet.

To the claim that "OF COURSE students are taught about black history."

Someone put that to the test, and asked Georgia students if they were aware of the racial cleansing that took place in Forsyth County GA, 1912, in which mobs of whites threatened, intimidated and murdered blacks until virtually every black person left the county.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1912_racial_conflict_in_Forsyth_County,_Georgia

Turned out from the survey that 89% of Georgia students had never been taught about this incident and had absolutely no idea. And I doubt many of you were taught that, either.

Could you post a link to that survey? I've searched for information on it, but have been unsuccessful.
