College Board Tweaking AP Black Studies After Ron DeSantis Banned It

The College Board announced Tuesday it will be updating its framework for its Advanced Placement (AP) African American Studies (APAAS) course in a statement that comes following the course’s rejection by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) and his state’s Department of Education (FDOE).

Stanley Kurtz wrote Wednesday the College Board’s announcement that it would release a revised framework for its pilot APAAS course on February 1 may be a sign that DeSantis is “on the verge of a major victory in the education wars.”
