The College Board has released a letter condemning Ron DeSantis' comments on AP African American Studies. LOL.
So it was political for DeSantis. The College Board said that it should have come out more strongly against the criticisms by Florida officials sooner and that its "failure to raise our voice betrayed Black scholars everywhere and those who have long toiled to build this remarkable field." The organization clarified that the course framework is only an outline, and certain controversial topics such as Black Lives Matter were always optional in the pilot program and not required to be taught.
This what you get when you elect a bigot for governor.so remember the biggest raceist are in and from Florida
I don't know…🤔 The last time I looked Floridians aren't Africans they're f**k**g Americans. What a bunch of maroons 🐰🥕 But go ahead and keep trying to separate us like good little socialists with this myth of systemic racism or white supremacy or whatever crap you come up with🖕 Your feelings!
Best governor in America people in Florida are so lucky to have him. Border agent on Fox news that they have had over 1 million Got Away Many could be terrorists, put the two together
And this 🤡 wants to be President!!! All he cares is about his views!!! Nothing else!!!!
Claims on people born in Africa??
The "woke" complaint never makes any sense. They're saying they want everyone to be asleep. 🤦
We are just getting started White Christian Conservatives. This is not the hill you want to die on.
Desantis is taking a stand against indoctrination because that is his primary role! Forget formal education, Ron Desantis will educate students into a world where the marginalized are even further marginalized, and any threat to his agenda will result in his wrath. He's an absolute sociopath through and through.
Can we just start the Civil War already ?
What are we waiting for ?
Tucker Carlson falsely called Senator Duckworth "A Coward who Hates America". Look up Senator Tammy Duckworth's military service.
The Extreme Rhetoric, Extreme Divisiveness, Extreme Intentional Lies, and Extreme Hate, for ratings and profit is never going to stop.
Explain how the modern equivalent of a Civil War can be avoided, while Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump have a platform ?
Do Conservative Republicans really believe that Democrats will not fight back, after decades of Conservative Evangelical Christian Fox TV viewers, claiming that we are less honorable, less patriotic and less American !?
I feel sorry for yall down in Florida. First, yall have fake nursing schools, an easy state nursing test, and now, yall want to erase the crimes against humanity committed in America just because it makes you uncomfortable to know that "the greatest country in the world" murdered the original inhabitants of the land and kidnapped and oppressed a whole group of people that you claim to have saved from swinging on trees. Nevermind the fact that people in Africa are not swinging on trees; great apes are. People in Africa are building generators from spare parts in landfills after reading library books. Black people are moving to Africa so that they can have better lives. Yall need to acknowledge that America was originally built by sociopaths and also acknowledge that you learned better and are doing better.
As a black American and knowing the history of America this is not new. They are always trying to ban the real history of African Americans to make whites feel better and less "guilty".
The Florida state flag looks like the Dixie flag….. #CHANGE THE FLORIDA STATE FLAG
Finally. A little bit of common sense coming from “THAT” state, where, what , how could the higher learning of college boards have been so cowed, bowed, and allowed “THAT” states’ stance on education?
The American People need to know the difference between just and unjust laws especially when hundreds or even a thousand new laws are put into place for a fiscal year before the constitutionality of any of them can be tested or questioned, or how a law would only feed the corruption cycle of a corrupt justice system. Our politicians will have to ban any discussion or history of this.
Crump is an Activist 🤡.
DeSantis is a good man and a strong leader. 👏👏👏
Ron DeSantis would be more likable if he didn't go on these personal tirades. I feel like AP african american studies was around years ago when I was in high school and nobody had a problem with it then. Sure some content may be controversial but that's life, we deal with controversial or uncomfortable things and topics all the time. It's not even like this is a required course by any stretch of the imagination.
The left continues to drive the races of people further apart. Just new forms of segregation. There are so many black holidays, and only black communities, black student councils. These separations do not fix the problem. It is as if the left wants everyone else to be separated from black people.
Not exactly sure why being woke is a bad thing. I think being asleep when you should be awake is a problem.
DeSantis will only approve AP Anglo-American Studies promoting White Supremacy
Why can't we have a white history class
we all know slavery was fake why should we learn about black history white peoples were always such nice peoples
Desantis is a dog.
embedded race marxism isn’t history.
Anyone who is afraid of progress like desanctimonious can always defect to Russia.They like to to denounce American values and want to go backwards in history as well. It’s a perfect match.
So when do we get AP Jewish history, First Nations history, Asian history, and the history of every other group that has been marginalized in America? I'd really like to learn about them, too, even if it isn't as trendy to push for those courses. Turns out this doesn't seem to be about equality after all…
