TALLAHASSEE — The College Board has addressed the Florida Department of Education's rejection of AP African American Studies courses and subsequent criticism of the program, as well as the controversy that ensued.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' DOE initially rejected the course on Jan. 12 in a letter obtained by ABC News, calling it"inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value."
According to an open letter from the College Board on Thursday, the College Board said it never received written feedback from the Florida DOE specifying how the course violates Florida law, despite repeated requests. "If the course comes into compliance and incorporates historically accurate content, the department will reopen the discussion," a Florida DOE official told ABC News in January about the course rejection.

The sanitizing of U.S. and Black history goes back a long way: Eric FosterDespite what the College Board claims about its AP African Studies course curriculum changes not being a response to Florida's ban, this story feels familiar. Florida (similar to the post-Civil War United Daughters of the Confederacy) protests how the teaching of history and culture (slavery and the Civil War) presented ideas to students. After the protest, the College Board (similar to North Carolina) releases edited material apparently addressing the protests. History repeats itself, writes Eric Foster in his column today.
