DeSantis responds to rejection of AP African American studies course

In a recent letter to the College Board, the Florida Department of Education said it will not include Advanced Placement African American Studies courses in high schools across the state.

The Jan. 12 letter from The Office of Articulation said, “as presented, the content of this course is inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.”

Cassie Palelis, a spokesperson for the Florida Department of Education, said in an email to 10 Investigates, “In its current form, the College Board’s AP African American Studies course lacks educational value and is contrary to Florida law. If the course comes into compliance and incorporates historically accurate content, the Department will reopen the discussion.”

10 Investigates asked the Florida DOE for clarification on what is historically inaccurate about the course. The DOE has not yet responded.
