College Board Backtracks on Woke AP Curriculum After DeSantis Criticism

The College Board revised its new Advanced Placement course after Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R.) criticized the curriculum for having woke and inaccurate content.

The College Board released Wednesday the official curriculum for its new high school course in African-American studies, stripped of the controversial critical race theory, "queer experience," and "Black feminism" subject matter that DeSantis slammed earlier this month, the New York Times reported. In a Jan. 12 letter to the College Board, the DeSantis administration rejected the draft curriculum, saying it is "inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value."
