"Florida is barring high school students from taking a new advanced placement course on African American studies over concerns the lessons run contrary to state law."
“In the future, should College Board be willing to come back to the table with lawful, historically accurate content, FDOE will always be willing to reopen the discussion,” state education officials wrote in a Jan. 12 letter to the organization"
"Florida’s education agency, in its decision, doesn’t spell out exactly which law the course is violating"
"That legislation, FL HB 7 (22R), or the Individual Freedom Act, was passed by Florida’s Republican-led Legislature to expand state anti-discrimination laws and prohibit schools and companies from leveling guilt or blame to students and employees based on race or sex. It created new protections for students and workers, including that a person should not be instructed to “feel guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress” due to their race, color, sex or national origin."

Wonder if Ronnie knows that AP courses are voluntary, and who does he think is going go sign up for an AP course in African American studies?
The part about leveling guilt or “feeling guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress” is too much
Lot of dog whistles going off here
