Ron DeSantis bans advanced placement African American Studies course from Florida high schools because it 'lacks educational value'
2023-01-21
[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

  • Florida is one of several states that have banned public schools from teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT)

#9  Better yet would be to ban high school. High school itself lacks educational value. It's more like a prison for kids and welfare for the teachers. Replace it with vocational schools and early admission to college. Let those kids go free.

#8  Is there a better way to avoid paying high prices for useless woke indoctrination at universities throughout America? An AP level accomplishment sends all the right messages to college admissions.

#5  Well, that will set the cat among the canaries.

DeSantis has become the next Trump already for the LSM. Has Rev. Al booked his flight yet?

#3  ^ I thought reading, writing and 'rithmatic were Anglo-Euro-Merican Studies already.

Anyone complaining should be asked a simple question.

What if Anglo-European-American Studies (excluding Asian, Hispanic and African) were also instituted?

Would you be OK with that ?

...or any other type of definable 'value'.
