The Florida Department of Education has effectively banned AP Psychology in the state by instructing superintendents 'that teaching foundational content on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal under state law,' College Board says.
In June, the College Board reported that it was asked by the Florida Department of Education Office of Articulation to potentially modify its courses to suit Florida law and exclude topics of gender and sexual orientation. College Board refused, saying it cannot modify courses in ways "that would censor college-level standards for credit, placement, and career readiness."
"Understanding human sexuality is fundamental to psychology, and an advanced placement course that excludes the decades of science studying sexual orientation and gender identity would deprive students of knowledge they will need to succeed in their studies, in high school and beyond," said APA CEO Arthur C. Evans Jr., in the statement.
The "Stop WOKE" Act restricts race-related curriculum and programs in workplaces and schools. College Board'swas rejected by the state education department and called "inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value" by a Florida DOE official.
