The Florida Department of Education's Office of Articulation said the course is 'inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.'

The administration of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is blocking a new Advanced Placement course for high school students on African American studies.

"In the future, should College Board be willing to come back to the table with lawful, historically accurate content, FDOE will always be willing to reopen the discussion," the letter stated. The College Board unveiled plans to offer an African American studies class for the first time last year. The course is being offered as a pilot in 60 schools across the country during the 2022-23 school year, with the goal of making the course available to all schools in the 2024-25 school year. The first AP African American Studies exam would be administered in the Spring of 2025, according to the College Board website.

In a Twitter post Wednesday, Democratic state Sen. Shevrin Jones, who is Black, noted that Florida offers other cultural AP courses.

Explain how this is freedom He blocked another view of CRT. He doesn't feel it's right to blame Caucasian kids born around 2010 for wrongs 160 yrs ago. Ron, It is merely a history class. As history has being re-written to dictate untruths to our children, about the history of human kind. The narrative has being re-written to favor white supremacy. These narratives are untrue; that is contrary to the law!
