"Florida Officials Grapple with Teaching AP Psychology Amid Controversy and Uncertainty"

Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz, Jr. has instructed state school officials to teach the College Board's AP Psychology course "in its entirety," including content on sexual orientation and gender identity. This comes after the College Board announced that Florida had effectively banned the course by prohibiting the teaching of foundational content on these topics. The College Board had threatened to withhold the "AP" designation from the course in Florida, potentially harming students. Florida has faced criticism for its restrictions on gender, sexual orientation, and race-related content in classrooms. The decision to teach the full course is seen as a victory for LGBTQ+ education and ensuring students have access to comprehensive knowledge.
