Florida Bans AP Psychology Courses Due To “Don’t Say Gay” Law
People in Florida are about to get even more stupid. First the state banned African American History courses, and now it’s AP Psychology. Eventually, there will be nothing left of public education, and that’s of course been the ultimate goal all along for right-wing politicians nationwide. Keep people as brain dead and uneducated as possible (“I love the poorly educated!“), and they’ll keep voting for Republicans. Via NBC:
Florida “effectively banned” Advanced Placement Psychology classes in the state due to the course’s content on sexual orientation and gender identity, the College Board said Thursday.
The state’s Department of Education informed the College Board that its AP Psychology class is in violation of state law, the higher education nonprofit said in a statement. Florida’s Parental Rights in Education act, or what critics have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law, restricts the instruction of sexual orientation and gender identity in the state’s classrooms.
The state’s decision to restrict the AP Psychology course comes several months after its controversial decision to block AP African American History, a decision widely condemned by academics and civil rights activists.
