Florida Bans AP Psychology Course Over LGBTQ Content, College Board Confirms

The College Board has accused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' administration of effectively banning the Advanced Placement (AP) psychology course in the state due to its inclusion of lessons on sexual orientation and identity, which violate state law. The decision has sparked a dispute between DeSantis and the College Board, jeopardizing the education of thousands of Florida students. The state's education department has not yet responded to the accusation. This comes after previous clashes between Florida and the nonprofit over African American history and Black history teaching standards. LGBTQ+ advocacy groups and critics have condemned the ban, arguing that it denies students the opportunity to earn college credit and compromises the quality of education in the state.
