[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think kids need to learn the basics, and learn them well.

These area studies courses tend to be about affirmation of certain political views rather than scholarship.

That being said, I also believe in the generalized value of free speech and a market place of ideas, so I am not thrilled with DeSantis banning them, either.[/quote]

AP's are for college-bound students.  The whole point of taking them is to get advance college credits.  As such, anyone taking this course should have already moved beyond the basics.[/quote]

That’s not really true.  A small percentage of students will use them for college credit.

They are really just upper level courses - and I don’t think this one is a good use of time.[/quote]
So you shouldn’t take it, but that doesn’t mean that millions of students in Florida should be barred from that opportunity just because their governor likes to try to own the libs.[/quote]

DP: The Governor is doing his job. Ensuring a quality education for all. Which by the way he also fought hard to open all public schools so all kids could attend (and safely).

Not sure what your schools did, but chances are they could learn from Florida.[/quote]
