DeSantis according to some of his students was sympathetic towards the southern side of the Civil War and taught things that were factually inaccurate.
One student said DeSantis was passively hostile towards her because she is black.

DeSantis would only allow George Washington not Booker T.My AP American History test was so woke the long essay question was on Brooker T Washington and W E B Du Bois.
I can only imagine the meltdown that would bring today.
Because of fucking course they do.Republicans want to take the cancelling of black history nationwide

As I've said before DeSantis seems to be running on a 100% culture war platform. I wonder if he was running low on topics and so he's now reaching for things like this, which are bad enough he's finally getting bad press over it.Republicans want to take the cancelling of black history nationwide

As she studied Elie Wiesel’s acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize in 1986, Matt Pecic’s daughter, a ninth grader in the Central Bucks School District, sent him a quote by the Holocaust survivor that she said made her think of her father:
I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented,” said the author of more than 50 books, including Night.
"When your daughter says that ... I’m like, that’s a great quote to hang up,” said Pecic, a high school librarian in the district.
Pecic displayed the quote on his library’s window at Central Bucks South on Monday. On Wednesday morning, he said, his principal asked him to take it down, saying it violated a new policy that bans staff from advocating beliefs on “partisan, political, or social policy issues” to students."
F Florida, and their voters.The College Board (AP syllabus overlords) bows to pressure from DeSantis and sets a horrible, horrible precedent for academic freedom nationwide.
AP African American studies course is watered down after pressure from Gov. Ron DeSantis
In the revised syllabus for the course, the College Board made substantial revisions to sections criticized by the Florida Republican's administration.www.nbcnews.com
“Earlier this month, state officials announced it had rejected the course due the six areas of concern — Black Queer Studies, Intersectionality, Movement for Black Lives, Black Feminist Literary Thought, The Reparations Movement and Black Struggle in the 21st Century — and works by Kimberlé W. Crenshaw, bell hooks, Angela Davis and other Black authors.
In the revised syllabus for the course, the College Board made substantial revisions to sections on intersectionality. And gone is a section on the Movement for Black Lives.
Instead, in a section for suggested research project topics — which contains the caveat that they are "not a required part of the course framework that is formally adopted by states" — there are suggestions on reparations, the Black Lives Matter movement and, in a new addition, Black conservatism.”
Now the College Board says this revised curriculum was in development since March 2022 but the timing of this announcement mere weeks after DeSantis’ decision is highly suspect.
Don’t get me wrong—even a “watered down” course is better than no course, but no word yet on whether Florida will allow it next Fall or wait until 2024 while reevaluating. Still, why is a political operative making these decisions?? I would trust that the College Board has already considered many viewpoints and come to a consensus on a syllabus that will stand on its own against any academic scrutiny. It’s odd that on one hand conservatives are championing parents in school board meetings for taking back local power to challenge how lessons are taught to their kids…and then in the other hand making imperial decrees from statehouses without any sort of peer review.

Love to see how national accreditation works out for colleges in Florida, if fully implemented. Of course it could be a draw for the racists.If this is the lukewarm resistance they'll put up, then the GOP has won already. How many of their operatives got thru onto school boards this past cycle?
If he can do this as governor, wait until we see his "national standards" as president.

The College Board folded like a house of cards because they didn't want to hurt their profit margins. Need to have kids take those standardized tests and have schools pay for the AP accreditation.The College Board (AP syllabus overlords) bows to pressure from DeSantis and sets a horrible, horrible precedent for academic freedom nationwide.

What's going to happen when a bunch of religious parents object to geography teaching the Earth is 4.5B years old?
Should those kinds of decisions be made by politicians?

“I’ve spent the last few weeks as a new trustee here at New College, talking to students, faculty, and staff. And they won’t say it publicly, but that’s because they’re intimidated by their colleagues and by these bureaucrats. But privately, they’ll say these DEI bureaucracies add nothing to the kid’s education,” New Trustee Chris Rufo said .
They encourage the children and young people in the students to think for themselves to question critical thinking as well as critical feeling that it is all about learning how to use your own mind and think for yourself
