  1. Poor Fl college students

  2. "college level" 🤣🤣🤣

  3. Gonna get to the point where a college degree
    from Florida will only be able to get you a job in
    Florida

  4. Challenge the law in court!

  5. Parents in Florida should think twice what kind of education they want for their children, their disadvantages will be enormous, imagine seniors wanting to enter a university to make a degree in Pre-Med, or chemistry, biology, psychology, history, etc, Florida’s students would not be prepared to enter any University or College outside State of Florida. Seems like this would only happened in a Third World Country.

  6. How did we ever reach the technology we have today without knowing the personal lives of the LGBTQ and what others that roam this planet! Are these people more likely able to excel or advance the productivity and educational skills needed for the future of mankind? Is it worth spending time delving into certain aspects or beliefs of an individual in order to advance technology to overcome Climate Change, agriculture, business, engineering, product development, solve homelessness or poverty? There is no evidence that spending precious school time will enhance a student’s ability to study or become more successful. Would it be too much to ask our education system to concentrate on educating our youth on improving the future rather than delving into individual lifestyles. What purpose do educators believe the studying of the LGBTQ community or an in-depth review of any other race, creed or color will accomplish the goal of gainful employment in the field the student desires! Education as a whole needs to gat back on track and teach the subjects children need to overcome the obstacles of the pursuit of happiness and leave the rest to their parents, religion and life experiences! Just like those who educated YOU!

  7. Math is next…
    After all 1+ 1 = 2
    Anyone ??

  8. Next…..boys won't be allowed in home ec , or cooking…and girls can't take shop…..

  9. Next…..boys won't be allowed in home ec , or cooking…and girls can't take shop…..

  10. Wonder if we’ll stop recruiting prospective college students in Florida?

  11. Look at them pushing a dictatorship.

  12. The woke crap is a cancer to our society.

  13. The solution is simple: any hiring manager who receives an job applicant from Florida just tosses that resume in the garbage because they know that person didn't get a decent education. After enough people keep getting rejected people will seek degrees from credible universities.

  14. Florida is afraid of knowledge.

  15. College Board doesn’t owe Florida a customized curriculum for a course universities nationwide offer credit for. Don’t wanna teach all of it? Then don’t offer the course. That’s not playing games, that’s explaining reality.

  16. First off AP psychology should not of changed what it was teaching from the beginning what were we teaching 10 years ago? It wasn’t a problem until y’all started changing everything

  17. You’d expect this from the Taliban but not Americans
    It’s ridiculous

  18. Good. Why does every subject matter seem to have this content? Is this all there is to discuss?

  19. Kids suffer so adults feeling's can be protected, crazy.

  20. FLORIDUMB. dum dum dum.

  21. Man nobody cares what a Floridian learns in school. Name ONE scientist, physicist, engineer FROM the state of Florida who has any value. I’ll wait. If they wanna live in a fantasy world and grow stupid children, cool. Less competition.

  22. jeeze at this rate who would hire anyone from a school from florida

  23. As far as I know this is the first time a straight white person has ever done something that wasn’t perfect and wonderful.

  24. Dont be smart about it. Dont know your own thoughts of ANY subject. But, its still western Psychology, upon the mindsets of your determination. Also any of it, is very difficult to escape from.

  25. Keep voting Republicans to stay uneducated 😂

  26. Poor Florida kids will not know history nor psychology while other children will have the advantage. No one should hide facts because it will hurt someone feelings

  27. Republicans: Transgender people have a psychological issue
    Also Republicans: We mustn't teach about LGTBQ+ in our psych classes
