College Board Revises Advanced Placement Course in African American Studies After Political Pressure from Florida Governor

The College Board has released a revised syllabus for its new Advanced Placement course in African American studies, which has been met with both praise and criticism. The changes come after pushback from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and include the removal of material associated with Black feminism, LGBTQ issues and critical race theory. Supporters of the changes argue that the College Board is right to remove politically charged material, while critics argue that the College Board is caving to political pressure and not allowing students to learn important aspects of Black history. The revised syllabus is now available for students and teachers to review.
