The College Board releases a new framework for its AP African American Studies course
[ad_1]
Months back, Florida’s Department of Education rejected the course, with state officials claiming that it had a “political agenda” that would indoctrinate students.
The College Board revised the curriculum in February, but that drew criticism too, including from those who accused the educational body of caving to the demands of the conservative governor, who is now running for president.
The new framework released this week excludes some topics that DeSantis had criticized, such as the Black queer experience, according to the Miami Herald.
But it also includes a mention of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s protest of police brutality during the national anthem, as well as a reference to Black Lives Matter as an example of optional further study in the class.
The governor’s office deferred comment to the Florida Department of Education, which did not immediately respond to NPR’s request for comment.
Roughly 13,000 students in 700 schools across the U.S. are currently piloting the course.
