That's not a surprise.  College Board and AP classes have been going farther and farther left, as have many universities, decade by decade, accelerating.  The general public, including college grads, are less and less happy about this, but are powerless to speak up or change anything.

This is the first time anyone has said that a class is too left.  Yes, it's inappropriate for DeSantis to do this and yes, his motives are impure.  But there are many who want some brakes on the swing left in upper education, by any means necessary.[/quote]

How so? Please provide an example of teaching in other AP classes from the College Board that strayed too far to the left?

What other books are too far to the left? Maya Angelou?

I don't think Maya Angelou was a core part of the woke AA Studies course... way too conservative for them. They chose to highlight the more "intersectional" queer crowd no one knows or cares about....WHY?[/quote]

Not talking about the current class, but the comment who said "College Board and AP classes have been going farther and farther to the left."

Where is the evidence of this? What publications/material is opposed in other AP classes?[/quote]

The controversy about the current class tells you everything there's to know.

DeSantis is being called a Nazi...because he opposes a far-left course that reflects political bias not AA history.[/quote]

No, it doesn't. It tells me about one class in one State. That's an anecdote, not a trend.[/quote]
