College Board Stands Firm on AP Course Content Amid Florida Regulations
TL;DR Summary
The College Board has refused to modify its Advanced Placement (AP) courses to comply with Florida's new rules banning classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity. The state had asked the College Board to consider modifying AP courses with lessons that might run afoul of the new rules. The College Board said it was "heartbroken" by the possibility that Florida students might not be able to take AP psychology, which includes a unit on gender and sexual orientation. The organization said it would not modify its courses to accommodate restrictions on teaching essential, college-level topics.
