"AP African American Studies Course Embraces Kaepernick, Black Feminism, and Sports in Final Version"
The final version of the College Board's AP African American studies course has been released, removing the heavy focus on critical race theory (CRT) and LGBTQ issues but retaining content on Black feminism and Colin Kaepernick's anti-police protest. The revisions were made following a year of friction between the College Board and Florida's Department of Education, which deemed certain subjects unfit for instruction in state classrooms. The revised curriculum includes mentions of systemic oppression and marginalization related to CRT, as well as the option to teach about the Black Lives Matter movement. It also covers topics such as intersectionality and the experiences of Black women during slavery.
