Governor Ron DeSantis bans African American studies class from Florida high schools

[MAGA Macho Man]

This should have been done decades ago. There's nothing good to learn from African Americans except for the awareness of their criminality against White people.

Well there goes the argument that this is not about white supremacy.

It's important to note that the College Board has been quite secretive over the content of the course, refusing to release the APAAS curriculum or the names of the 60 schools in which it is being offered, as Stanley Kurtz over at The National Review reported. Kurtz, who was the first to report on the course being rejected by Florida, managed to obtain a copy. That copy revealed a course with a decidedly socialist political bent; it promotes the overthrowing of capitalism.

Of course he's not trying to ban black history. He's just trying to ban mentioning it in schools.

Why have a class on Africa gonna Africa?

Turning down an exclusive class about black people is NOT banning african american studies.

Nice headline, though.

This is the MAGAt belief system, folks. Don't understand why they can't attract many black voters.

Why have a European history course?

Of course, MAGAts believe that African-Americans have con-tributed NOTHING to this country.

Just another lib lie

Why have a European history course?

I agree....State, US, and World history is plenty.....They can branch off if they go to college.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Why have a European history course?

There is a course on Western Civilization. There is no viable African civilization to study.

Nothing serves America's domestic politics like racism!
But still DeSantis can only be a racist also ran until Trump moves aside for him. Or is moved aside!

Of course he's not trying to ban black history. He's just trying to ban mentioning it in schools.

Or has seen the syllabus and found it in no way teaches what the title suggests, only reaffirms racism and the blame game. If they teach black history, straight up, fine. When they go off on political tangents, ban it.

"There's nothing good to learn from African Americans..."

Personally, my avatar would suggest that the good poster, MAGAMan make the above sentence his sig-line. It succinctly and fairly defines the thinker behind that avatar.

It lets forum contributors, lurkers, moderators, and day-trippers.......know the quality and character of MAGAMan.
IMHO

Of course, MAGAts believe that African-Americans have con-tributed NOTHING to this country.

I think there is an argument to be made, poster 'bodecea, that that is an under-education thingy. Either didn't attend a quality school, wasn't properly brought up in the childhood home, or a poor student, or acculturated in an overtly racist and Klannish environment.

It's not all that harmful of a thing though.
After all, America is full of better educated, better parent-ed people who do live and do contribute in productive and intelligent neighborhoods. So that balances the relatively few under-educated and repellant ones. No disrespect intended towards the earnest poster MAGAMan.

So he didn't? Florida gives its reasons for rejecting proposed AP African American Studies course | CNN Politics

Do you know what the word "rejecting" means?

 

[LeftofLeft]

This is the MAGAt belief system, folks. Don't understand why they can't attract many black voters.

Check the numbers. Trump and Republican candidates saw a net increase in Black and Latino voters. It is the Democrat Party realizing their 85 percent hold on Blacks is slowly deteriorating.

So Desantis banned any mention of MLK in school?

BULLSHIT

The governor's office also rereleased a statement from Florida Department of Education (FDOE) Communications Director Alex Lanfranconi. "We are glad the College Board has recognized that the originally submitted course curriculum is problematic, and we are encouraged to see the College Board express a willingness to amend. AP courses are standardized nationwide, and as a result of Florida’s strong stance against identity politics and indoctrination, students across the country will consequentially have access to an historically accurate, unbiased course," Lanfranconi said.

Lanfranconi also referenced Gov. DeSantis' commitment to stop wokeness in Florida schools. "As Governor DeSantis said, African American History is American History, and we will not allow any organization to use an academic course as a gateway for indoctrination and a political agenda," his statement continued.
