Florida has informed school superintendents that the Advanced Placement (AP) psychology course, which includes LGBTQ+ content, violates the state's new law prohibiting instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The College Board, which develops AP courses, recommended that school districts refrain from teaching the psychology course for now, as modifying it to comply with the law would make it ineligible for college credit and violate academic standards. The College Board stated that any course excluding sexual orientation and gender would violate their guidelines and should not be considered for college credit.
