The Florida Board of Education has banned a misconstrued and warped version of critical race theory and rejected the proposal to teach AP African American Studies in high schools. It approved standards that would, amongst other things, require teachers to explain that “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit”. It has prohibited teachers from using students’ preferred pronouns, and it has effectively banned AP Psychology by requiring content relating to sexuality and gender be removed, which would prevent the course from receiving AP credit, though this decision has been reversed. These recent decisions have all been made in an attempt to teach children about a world that doesn’t exist.
