The decision deepens a dispute between Gov. Ron DeSantis and a major education nonprofit over classroom teachings just before the start of a new school year.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration has “effectively banned” a high school Advanced Placement psychology course from being taught in the state because it includes lessons on sexual orientation and identity that violate state law, the College Board said on Thursday.
. “The state has said districts are free to teach AP Psychology only if it excludes any mention of these essential topics.”Earlier this summer, the College Board, which administers AP exams, rejected changing AP Psychology lessons on gender and sexual orientation in a direct challenge to DeSantis after his administration expanded restrictions and regulations on.
“The state’s ban of this content removes choice from parents and students,” the board said. “Coming just days from the start of school, it derails the college readiness and affordability plans of tens of thousands of Florida students currently registered for AP Psychology, one of the most popular AP classes in the state.”
The DeSantis administration’s firm stance against sexual content in Florida’s schools also includes recently strengthening a state rule that expands parental rights laws, labeled “Don’t Say Gay” measures by critics, that is at the center of this dispute.
