    One more time...it made a statement about the culture wars and the topic was about teaching and culture wars expound in positive and negative areas.
    The entire article was posted for everyone to read.....and again. You attempted to ignore the total article.

    He did NOT remove AA studies taught in school. Your disinformation is the result of media narratives not telling the entire story.

    The AP program has no integrity if they let the the Greaseball bully them into changes.

    Why do you have such trust in this AP program? Have you even gone through the syllabus?

    No, he just objects to the UTTER CRAP that's in it, that's all.

    It’s not “free” to bring suit against the Government.

    Who says I "have such trust" in the AP program? The point remains that a national AP program isn't going to kowtow to a grandstanding state governor?

    First off it’s an unnecessary class. Not vital under any definition. There is no AP white history, right? And the class would be fine if not for blatant lies and propaganda that was included. Going deeper into civil rights for example is fine. LYING about BLM however is a road block. Or queer theory in black culture? Wtf?

    You obviously think that it is above criticism.

    BUT IT HAS! DeSantis has WON! Here is the link once again: https://www.axios.com/2023/02/03/college-board-ap-african-american-studies

    If history is taught well, I agree.
    There is only history.
    Depends on who teaches it and how it's taught.
    I'm not endorsing the AP curriculum, but I am pointing out that people writing the curriculum could care less what DeSantis thinks about their course.

    Eliminating what passes for critical race theory will expand support for DiSantis's in the black American community.

    The word you're looking for is Aryans, not Arians. If we're gonna make racist posts lets at least spell the target of the racism properly.

    I fear that the true deeply seated angst wouldn't then fully emerge if you required the poster to actually think about those posts...... LMAO... Sometimes, it's just best to see it in all it's fully ignorant glory....

    They can get the same sexual education using porn on the internet. It doesn't need to be in the classroom.
    Is that too much ask?

    I don't think DeSantis will ever be popular in the black community.
