The College Board's official curriculum for its new Advanced Placement African American Studies course excludes several concepts that were in the pilot course, including topics on Black Lives Matter and reparations.
, a college-level framework that is rarely taught in grade school but often conflated with teachings on systemic racism.
The new curriculum does not require the BLM movement as a topic of instruction, instead noting it as a sample project topic on a list which the College Board says "can be refined by states and districts."The pilot curriculum included a section focused on "Black Queer Studies," which also included mention of works by writers such as Cathy Cohen, Roderick Ferguson and E. Patrick Johnson.
The new framework only includes one mention of "reparations" as a sample project topic and not a required part of the course.In the pilot curriculum, the course's instructional focus on Black lives today included teachings on the history of Black incarceration from the 13th Amendment to the present as well as its relationship to the larger prison industrial complex.
The new curriculum includes instruction on the exploitation of imprisoned African Americans during the early 1900s but mentions incarceration and criminal justice only once — also as a sample project topic and not required teaching.The unit on "The Black Feminist Movement and Womanism" was renamed to "Black Women and Movements in the 20th Century."
