Quick Glance: The AP African American Studies class framework has been announced, and it is already being tested at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute.
  • The official curriculum for the Advanced Placement African American Studies course, which has been criticised by some conservatives, was released on Wednesday, the first day of Black History Month.

  • While media coverage of the curriculum announcement suggested that the College Board bowed to pressure, board officials said the course revisions were nearly finished before DeSantis voiced his concerns.

  • Through the implementation of a programme called BMore Me in 2019, the system changed lessons to include more history about Black Baltimore. DeSantis, a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2024, stated that he was opposing the course in Florida because it promoted a political agenda.

  • DeSantis' Florida Department of Education said in a rejection letter to the College Board two days later that the course material of a high school Advanced Placement African American Studies class was not "historically accurate," had "no educational value," and violated Florida law.

  • Governor Ron DeSantis spearheaded this decision.

  • Since his election as Florida's 46th governor, DeSantis has worked tirelessly to limit Black political power in the state.

  • Despite Florida lawmakers' claims that the course "lacks educational value," an AP African American Studies course includes more than just history and is therefore very educational.

Quick Glance: The Democratic Party Should Reclaim the Word After the Republican Party Hijacked It
  • "We must fight the woke in our schools."

  • It remains to be seen whether "woke" dies in Florida, but many robust indicators of a healthy, multi-racial democracy, such as abortion rights, voting rights, free speech, COVID safety measures, gun control, gay rights, books written by people of color, and public schools, are actively on life support.

  • Martin Luther King, Jr., integration, women's rights, and voting rights for Black and brown people were the threats at the time.

  • This could imply that Democrats should stop actively courting white, hesitant voters at the expense of their multi-racial base.

  • Instead of dissolving the district, lawmakers renamed it this week and gave DeSantis, not Disney, the authority to choose the district's five board members.

  • They also passed legislation clarifying that DeSantis could fly migrants from any state, after DeSantis appeared to violate state law by flying migrants from Texas to Massachusetts' Martha's Vineyard last year.
