is rejecting the AP African American Studies course over content — it contains a section on “Black Queer Studies” as well as cultural appropriation and reparations and the “global influence of the Black Lives Matter” movement — asserting that the course itself is “inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.”
“In the future, should College Board be willing to come back to the table with lawful, historically accurate content, FDOE will always be willing to reopen the discussion,” it adds. The latter supposedly “explores the concept of the queer of color critique, grounded in Black feminism and intersectionality, as a Black studies lens that shifts sexuality studies toward racial analysis.”
The document also provides a section on student expectations of the course and cites “several” students who take issue with reading material written by white authors in the context of African American history.
