The College Board officially released the curriculum for their AP African American Studies course on Wednesday. The release was met with backlash as many noted that contemporary topics such as intersectionality, Black feminist & queer studies, and reparations were obscured and omitted from the framework. Academics felt the move was made in response to conservative politicians like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis claiming the College Board had a "political agenda".
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his administration have rejected the AP African-American Studies Course for students in the state. The decision, which has angered many academics and Democratic lawmakers, reportedly came as officials declared the course "lacks educational value".
