Controversy and Changes Surrounding African American Studies in Education

Private emails obtained through open-records laws reveal that the College Board's faculty advisers criticized the organization's spin on the revision of a new high-school AP class in African-American Studies, which was allegedly forced by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The College Board denied pressure and claimed that the revisions were pedagogical, but faculty advisers questioned which student, professor, or teacher suggested adding black conservatives to the course over Combahee River Collective.
