Florida Considers 'Classical' Alternative to SAT and ACT, While Mourning Angus Cloud and Hearing Hunter Biden Associate Testimony: Morning Rundown

The Florida Board of Governors is expected to vote on whether to accept Classic Learning Test (CLT) scores for admissions to Florida's public universities, making it the first state to do so. The CLT, created as an alternative college entrance exam rooted in a teaching model emphasizing humanities and classical literature, has gained popularity among Christian schools and conservative groups. This move follows a dispute between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the College Board over an Advanced Placement African American history course. Proponents of the CLT argue that it offers an alternative to progressive influence in education, while critics question its methodology and relevance in today's world.
