DeSantis administration rejects proposed AP African American Studies class in Florida high schools

The administration of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is blocking a new Advanced Placement course for high school students on African American studies. 

In a January 12 letter to the College Board, the nonprofit organization that oversees AP coursework, the Florida Department of Education’s Office of Articulation said the course is “inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.”

  3. When I was in Jr. high school, one of the classes was world history. It was broken into American history, European history, Asian history and African history. One of the kids, when the beginning of the African component of the course was announced, said ":why do we have to study a bunch of spear chuckers." He was kicked out of class by a visibly upset libtard teacher.
    But the kid was correct! The Africans have invented nothing in their pre-colonial existence, and any advancement that they may have had was due to the colonization of Africa by the Europeans.

    1. And that is EXACTLY what learning about African history will teach kids. Unless of course the Ministry of Truth just makes up things.

    3. Here's some African history, including some significant inventions and advances in thought: Ancient Egypt, Carthage, Jugurtha, Saint Augustine of Hippo. Of course, all of these were north of the Sahara Desert and not black.

      South of the Sahara .... there's always Chaka Zulu, who somehow learned European military tactics (perhaps the British bayonet drill), murdered his way to chief of his tribe, adapted those tactics and discipline to spears and a tribal organization, and created an empire. A few generations later, a brigade-sized force of Zulus armed with spears overwhelmed a battalion-sized British force armed with breechloading rifles - although the tactic of "we have more men than yours have cartridges" was something that could be used only once. (I suspect that it only happened once because the Zulus had been uniformly victorious for so long that they'd forgotten how to call off an attack, and the Brits were just as overconfident about their defense.)

  4. DeSantis clearly has a good idea of what this will lead to - fiction and theories being presented as fact and a consequent increase in racial division

  5. I like this guy. But, I wonder if he's doing it only to run for President. He does great shit, but will he turn into a Romney if he gets in?

    I doubt it, but these days you have to be worried about all of them.

    1. I have those questions about him, like I do about all of their breed. But in his favor, he was a founding member of the Freedom Caucus, and that crowd is the least bad of them, and they actually say/do some good things once in a blue moon.

  6. Actually, a term in State Prison will fulfill all the requirements of an AP African Studies course.

  8. Learning everything about wakanda-Americans should take about three minutes:
    * wakanda-Americans fly around in pyramids,
    * wakanda-Americans like loud music by groups such as 'unintelligent gibberish' performing their hit 'Kill Whites And Asians',
    * wakanda-Americans are often rejected by military recruiters because of that pesky 'minimum IQ of 70' rule.
