[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how many racist school districts across the US don't offer an AP African American studies class?[/quote]

Almost all. [/quote]

Most school districts don’t offer it — because it’s still a pilot program.  
Many do offer African American history/ studies — just not AP, and many more appropriately integrate and teach African American studies throughout the curriculum. [/quote]

Most high schools that currently teach an African American History/studies course would modify it to prepare for the AP test. Why not? It isn’t and wouldn’t be required for any school. [b]I doubt that many Florida high schools currently have an African American history course.[/b] Desantis is just blocking those that do from offering students an AP credit opportunity. [/quote]

DP.  You would be wrong.  Black history isn't an elective in Florida schools - it's [b]*mandatory*[/b].  All students are taught about black history in the U.S.

Lol. You’re a lying sack. https://seattlemedium.com/fla-house-passes-individual-freedom-to-limit-teaching-of-black-history/

They expressly limit its teaching. This is the bill that began its life prohibiting all kinds of education so that White students didn’t feel “discomfort.”

“Florida” isn’t that many letters from “fascism.”[/quote]

Funny how you accuse me of being a "lying sack," when you couldn't even be bothered to quote my entire post.  Of course black history is a mandated subject in Florida schools - so is the Holocaust, btw.  You were saying something about "fascism"?  Also - it's so precious that you're using "Seattle Medium" as a source.   :lol:

[b]Florida mandates instruction on “the enslavement experience,” “the civil rights movement,” and the contributions of black Americans. Three years ago, DeSantis signed a law to teach the 1920 Ocoee massacre, in which a white mob killed dozens of black Floridians - funny how DCUM doesn't see fit to acknowledge any of this.[/b]

“We want to make sure our students understand the evils of the Holocaust. You see people throughout the world try to diminish or even reject that the Holocaust even happened,” DeSantis said, reported the Orlando Sentinel.

Florida does indeed mandate the teaching of [u]both black history and the Holocaust[/u].  If you want to discuss reparations, BLM, black queer studies, intersectionality, and other agenda-driven topics with *your* kids, have at it.  [/quote]
