I took AP psych in high school 30 years ago!

What “definitions of gender” did you learn back then?

Or did you already know, and didn’t need to be told?

I guess Desantis doesn't want future FL psych majors to understand sexuality and gender issues.

Keep Florida Stupid should be his motto.

Florida superintendents were advised Thursday by the state to nix their Advanced Placement Psychology classes unless they exclude any topics related to gender or sexuality, according to The College Board, which oversees the AP program.

Where are the folks who insisted that Desantis only wanted to keep DEI topics out for K-3?

Slippery slope, people.

Why are people in blue states are so concerned about how people in red state govern? I don't see any threads in which republicans concerned about curriculum in Boston or San Francisco?

—- Because not everyone in red states is “red”. No one should have their educational future crushed because Yale/Harvard DeSantis is playing with the curriculum.

— Perhaps Republicans in Boston or San Francisco put their kids in private school?

— Is there a reason that you ask a question focused on states — and then shift to the curriculum in cities? Issues with a curriculum in a single city are a bit easier to address then issues impacting an entire state.

Huh I can't imagine maybe it's because DeShIIface is running for president on the slogan of Making America Florida.

So... you think what Desantis is doing is fine?

There are many posts on this forum from conservatives posting about how blue states are governed.

It's actually the other way around...

Sex is obsessed with evangelicals?

Desantis probably thinks they shouldn't go oos anyways. They need to stay in FL and drink his Kool Aid.

Seriously, nothing encourages teens to have sex more than researching a 3-5 page paper on subject approved by their teachers. /s

If you know nothing about the class why are you saying it shouldn't be taught?

So that's what's wrong with Millennials and Gen Zers.
