[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] They were whining about this on NPR yesterday. - The Florida Department of Education claimed in a January 12 letter that an AP African American Studies course 'significantly lacks education value'
- It also called the course 'unlawful' and historically inaccurate, but did not elaborate on why the Department thought so
- Despite rejecting the African American history course, Florida currently offers AP courses in European, Japanese, German, Italian, and Spanish history
- Part of the course focused on looking at discrimination through an intersectional lens, which was written by CRT advocate and legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw
