No question about DeSantis' bias (disrespect) agains Black history. I do object to including "Black Queer Studies" if it is not a part of other ethnic/cultural curricula. Black history is not synonymous with queer concerns. I suggest a separate AP Queer curriculum, which can be accepted or rejected on its own merits. Centuries of African American history should not be subject to LGBTQA+ interests, most of whom are White brothers and sisters. A great minority of such persons are Black, so let African American history stand alone.

Having reviewed the curriculum, it is nonsense to reject the entire curriculum for their white supremacist/political concerns.

Ultimately, AP courses are not required, so let students/parents choose.

Thank you for this information. Given the context, it seemed that Desantis and Florida's Dept. of Ed's motivations were purely political, and this confirms it.
