FL Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration is blocking the College Board from launching its much-anticipated Advanced Placement course on African American Studies for high school students in the state
His administration claimed that the course “significantly lacks educational value” and that its curriculum violates the state’s Stop WOKE ACT, a 2022 law that bars schools and workplaces from “subjecting any student or employee to training or instruction that espouses, promotes, advances, inculcates, or compels such individuals to believe specified concepts constitutes discrimination based on race, color, sex, or national origin.”
DeSantis famously referred to Florida as the state “where woke goes to die” during his November 2022 reelection speech.
According to the Miami Herald, the state’s Department of Education did not make clear what, specifically, about the course violates the 2022 act. Instead, the department said in a letter that they will be open to discussions on a course that is deemed lawful.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
