Political Week In Review 7-16-2023

 

The dumbing-down of Florida Schools - Politico: "DeSantis kicks off feud over College Board’s AP psych class". Florida school districts had raised questions about an AP Psychology “learning objective” that covers gender and sexual orientation.

It is unclear whether Florida will now block the AP psychology course from classrooms, the College Board told educators.

Please know that we will not modify our courses to accommodate restrictions on teaching essential, college-level topics. Doing so would break the fundamental promise of AP: colleges wouldn’t broadly accept that course for credit and that course wouldn’t prepare students for success in the discipline.”
