Florida Department of Education

The Florida College Board is accusing the state’s Department of Education of “slander” after initially agreeing to revise the controversial high school Advanced Placement (AP) course for African American Studies, asserting that it was slanderous for the department to assert that the woke course “lacks educational value.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday defended the Florida Department of Education’s rejection of an AP African American Studies course over content, noting that it contains sections on intersectionality, abolishing prisons, and “queer theory.”
