"College Board's Revised AP African American Studies Course Emphasizes Sports, Racial Justice, and Avoids Controversial Topics"

The College Board has released an updated framework for its AP African American Studies course, following controversy and criticism from conservative critics earlier this year. The new framework, set to launch in the 2024-2025 school year, aims to provide a broader perspective on the subject. The revised curriculum includes references to Colin Kaepernick's protest and Black Lives Matter, but excludes topics previously criticized by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, such as the Black queer experience. The course is currently being piloted by approximately 13,000 students in 700 schools across the United States.
