The latest revision of the College Board’s controversial AP African American studies course is reportedly ditching the heavy focus on critical race theory and LGBTQ issues but keeping content on Black feminism and former NFL player Colin Kaepernick’s anti-police protest.
The final version of the College Board’s curriculum for the high school class was unveiled Wednesday following nearly a year of friction between the organization and Florida’s Department of Education over what was legally suitable to be taught in state classrooms.
The original versions of the curriculum contained "woke" subjects that were deemed unfit for instruction in Florida schools.
With support from Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., the state’s DOE compelled the College Board to cut much of the content associated with Black Lives Matter, the queer experience and other controversial issues in order for it to be allowed in state classrooms.
