Ron DeSantis bans advanced placement African American Studies course from Florida high schools because it 'lacks educational value'

[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)

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 ?

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

#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?

#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.

#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.
