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

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

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]
When people accuse you of being racist and you claim not to know why, think back to this sentence about an actual AP course that was created by scholars and historians about AA history and how you, without knowing anything about the course beyond what Fox told you, decided that it was just political and not at all informative or educational, that it wasn’t scholastic.

A lot of the curriculum looks like Progressive doctrine, especially with the random inclusion of LGBTQ topics.  You don't need to be a Fox News watcher to see the red flags.  A look into African American history should be better balanced.  Heck, according to Pew Research, the majority of black adults (59%) and Democrats (62%) don't even support affirmative action.

Feels like African American studies viewed through the lens of Progressives.[/quote]
A he conservatives on this thread don’t seem to value African American studies at all. And why are you bringing up affirmative action?[/quote]
