Florida says AP African-American studies class runs afoul of state law, largely 'lacks educational value'

The Florida Department of Education has rejected an AP African-American studies class, asserting that the course runs afoul of state law and largely "lacks educational value."

"As presented, the content of this course is inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value," a letter from the Department of Education's Office of Articulation to College Board Florida Partnership senior director Brian Barnes reads. "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."
