College Board finally tells DeSantis to eat shit
I guess they learned something from their previous capitulation to an authoritarian bully:
Advanced Placement Psychology is the subject of the latest skirmish in the monthslong battle between the state of Florida and the College Board.
The board said in a statement released on Thursday afternoon that several Florida school districts had raised concerns about the course, noting that its content may violate new state laws limiting how issues of gender and sexuality are taught. The class has existed for decades and is among the country’s most popular A.P. courses, along with English and U.S. History. This year, more than 28,000 Florida students took the A.P. Psychology exam.
The College Board, which runs the A.P. program and the SAT, said on Thursday that gender and sexual orientation were foundational to the college-level study of psychology, and that it would not remove such content.
The idea that Florida should be able to dictate education-related policies for the entire country based on the governor’s various neurotic hatreds is absurd. My suspicion is that this will prove to be a called bluff, but if Florida loses access to AP credits that should ultimately be their problem.
