For months, the Florida Education Department and the College Board have been at loggerheads over instituting a proposed Advanced Placement African American studies course for high school students.six areas of concernRepublican Gov. Ron DeSantis and Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. discussed the issue publicly for the first time at a
. They argue that the course is a Trojan horse for"indoctrinating" students with a left-wing ideology under the guise of teaching about the Black experience and African American history .
Just a thought..maybe black studies should teach black history instead of Marxist propaganda.
Florida rejected black people. Black people in all their beauty, sadness, joy and determination, DeSantis rejected their story.
Save your time: CRT and Queer theory.
Fake news
If NBC reports it, then it must be true 🤔
He uses that word, indoctrination, constantly. What does he think he's doing? Indoctrination.
NBCNightlyNews STOP COVERING THE FORMER TRAITOR IN CHIEF!!!!!! HE IS A C.R.I.M.I.N.A.L. !!!!!?!!!!
Damn Demon!!! 🤨
'it's just a course that explains how much black people love America, of course! It's totally not going to be divisive in any way at all!'
hello, is very simple, BLACK VOTERS STOP VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS! the gov. of fla. want to put black people back on the shelves, let see for the next election, let see if he get elected! 👎👿🇺🇸🫵
Looks like it would have been a great course. I wish I has that when I was in school.
DeSantis caters to the haters.
They rejected the truth.
Black 'culture' is an oxymoron.
This is a good move by DeSantis and I don't even like the guy
Let’s not teach kid’s critical thinking skills but just ban anything that conflicts with political ideology.
Hey NBC, when will you report on the Pfizer admission they considered mutating COVID to sell more vaccines?
Good try! But you can’t trust NBC to tell you the bad!
No one believes anything you say after covering up Epstein HunterBidenLaptop and completely ignoring TwitterFiles and PfizerGate VaccineDeath ! All of you are garbage human beings, and deserve ……
Why are white supremacists in Florida so afraid of? For all students to get a better understanding of black culture and what happened in the past.
God bless Ron DeSantis ♥️
Desantis wants kids to grow up to be a white supremacist like him.
I know how dangerous history could be.
I agree with Desantis 1000%
Here comes the disinformation.
Here’s why the PILOT course was rejected. It’s a lie. The course is full of radical nonsense that has nothing to do with African American history
Good man!!!!
“The state finally announced last week that it was rejecting the course, pointing to six areas of concern and works by Kimberlé W. Crenshaw, bell hooks, Angela Davis and other Black authors.” Black queer studies is also included in the course. Here’s a book by Kimberlé Crenshaw.
Absolutely doubtful, high school students are still in an individual or personality developing phase. They can’t deal with any groups-governing topics as a half civilian I guess. And early education is dangerous. Personality is hard enough for every youths. They need to focus
DeSantis is another Russian stooge who won his first election by half a percentage point and took money from Putin's right hand man...now, we have this this, another GOPer earning his dark money
And people believe his racist
Cool. You dissect elements of “To Kill a Mocking Bird” & “Huckleberry Finn”weirdo democrats keep banning? Since you’re digging into the process of censorship in all.
Now show everything. This is a common tactic lefties....they say 'here is what is in it' and tell you the 1/10 of it that you will agree with....
after reading what's in this COLLEGE LEVEL course? I'm sorry but clearly REPS actually DO seek to BLOCK valuable historical info and pretty much ONLY, as was originally law's main purpose, because white ppl's feelings might be hurt by REAL history. pathetic
Pardon my French, but Desantis is both racist and fascist and his policies ring incredibly close to what the Nazis were saying about education in the 30s and I don’t say that either lightly or flippantly. He’s a danger to a free and an educated nation.
we as a melanin people we don't get help or support as much as we need to because they dont want to see the African Americans over powered the European but we will become the headstones facts.follow my Instagram page Roberts jamar lovell and checkout my amazing music videos
Florida is being run by a Neo Nazi Ron Desantis the bigot .
So DeSantis took the class? Is that how he knows what is in it,
Good, keep it out
It has to be the most tame AP course ever. He rejected this because of what?!!!
Fantastic
IV_Names This pushing of stupid shit in our schools has to stop. Good for our governor who stands up against such BS
Your Florida sounds sad.
This guy probably hates the term Homo Erectus
Additionally Ron DeathSantence craving for the National media attention as Trump is running away with GzoP primary polling
Gotta keep the kids uneducated if you expect them to vote Republican in the future.
Being Democrats are champions of historical accuracy, will they support teaching students the atrocities Southern families endured during the Civil War when Federal troops invaded their properties, raped their women, and burned their homes, crops and livestock?
really is crazy when you actually go through that... pretty much NOTHING but facts and REPS don't want it... at this point it should be clear: ONLY reason this law exists is because they fear white people's feelings will be hurt by REAL history! PATHETIC!
The man who blocked this course stood in front of a microphone, in public, and said the world changed their mind about slavery because of the American Revolution.
Stop Trojan horsing pedophilia and grooming
I'll doubtfully review this entire proposed curriculum, but by quick review it looks solid and beneficial. Republicans with disdain for perspectives other than their own should likely not enroll.
African American history is already covered in AP American History. As well as additional daily lessons ALL February long.
A real African American studies course could have been easily approved. But that’s not their agenda…
Our public schools are no place for social indoctrination. The far left is angry because it wasn't going to cost them a dime.
I trust Governor Ron DeSantis, not NBC News!
That's Antisemitism
In a statement last week, the College Board said the course was 'undergoing a rigorous, multi-year pilot phase, collecting feedback from teachers, students, scholars and policymakers.' And the left goes nuts over something that is still being worked on.
This is an inaccurate hit piece. Attached are the radical ideological lessons in this banned curriculum
Why doesn’t an AfricanAmerican studies course include the countries that were responsible for bringing Africans to North America PRIOR to America’s foundation! UK France Spain Portugal Denmark Netherlands ABC CNN FoxNews CBSNews orlandosentinel USATODAY
Worry about crime riddled new York and stay out of Florida with your lies. It wasn't the titles it was the content which the panel found a lot of it inaccurate and unacceptable. But I'm sure you knew this but left it out. And the panel for content & accuracy was mostly Black.
NBC is notorious to promote fake news and love to trash Whites and latinos.
We know why DeSantis rejected it.
Where can I sign up? This is a very interesting course.
Stop trying to indoctrinate our public schools. Simple as that.
Umm…they wanted to teaching Black Queer Studies? WTF is that? Thank you Florida for stopping it. A few other studies seem geared to start shit in kids mind, create angry activists. Stop ruining ppl lives with this morally deficient shit!
I wonder if he realizes that the rest of America isn’t necessarily like the redneck Riviera?
There's no such thing as 'black queer studies'. That's when a gay African American male reflects upon himself! 🤫🤫🤫🤫
Bunch of garbage about gender and intersectionality. And BLM. Good on Florida.
He is lost without a compass..next he’ll stop teaching about the Holocaust
“Individual teachers are responsible for designing their own curriculum” I think I found the problem.. Willy Nilly will inevitably lead to Dopey-Wokey
Can’t trust NBC and it’s reporting. It’s CRT disguised as something else. NBC cherry picks non CRT ideas. Just a fake racism smear for a Republican governor. Biden actually tried to block black kids going to white schools. Crickets.
He is probably just upset because 'African American studies' is what his wife calls it when she takes her phone with her in the bath
I wonder if an AP course in Caucasian studies would draw rancor from MSM?
'George Santos' should become Republican, and especially Trump's latest 'attorney': One of the Liars, Cheats, Thugs, Grifters, Election Crap-Artists; perfect Member of the Party. EVERY RIGHT-WING PERSONS' HERO(s).
