The College Board rebuked claims that Florida and other states influenced its decision to change the framework of its AP African American studies course. The course has 'been shaped only by the input of experts and long-standing AP principles,' it said.
More than 300 professors of African American Studies from more than 200 colleges nationwide, including dozens of historically Black colleges and universities, were consulted in developing the official course framework. The yearlong framework development process was completed in December.
“We invite everyone to read the framework for themselves when it is released; it is a historic document that deserves your attention,” the letter from College Board said.
