While conservatives defended DeSantis and the curriculum update, critics saw the new educational standards as another attack from the governor and his anti-woke agenda.
On January 12, the DeSantis administration sent a letter to College Board regarding its African American Advanced Placement (AP) course.
In the letter, Florida’s Department of Education’s Office of Articulation challenged the course as “inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.”
Without identifying which issues the department had an issue with, DeSantis spokesperson Bryan Griffin told CNN the course “leaves large, ambiguous gaps that can be filled with additional ideological material, which we will not allow.”
