Florida's Controversial Approach to Teaching Black History in Schools.

McLain High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma is one of 60 schools in 33 states across the US piloting an Advanced Placement course in African American Studies. The course has been at the center of a national debate about teaching issues of race in public schools, with multiple states including Virginia, Arkansas, North Dakota and Mississippi saying they would review the curriculum to see if the course violates states’ policies. The course covers a range of topics including the resistance and rebellion of African Americans, the lynching of Black people, slave breeding farms, prominent figures in Black history, and the Afro-Latino movement.
