The public scuffle over the AP Psychology course is just the latest installment in an ongoing feud between the College Board and Florida education officials over what subjects can be taught in the state's classrooms. This is how we got here.
A long-simmering feud between the College Board, the non-profit that administers Advanced Placement courses, and Florida’s Department of Education became public this week, as officials argued over whether the Advanced Placement Psychology course could be taught in Florida without breaking state laws. In Florida, students are prohibited from learning about sexual orientation or gender identity in the classroom.
How does AP Psychology violate Florida law? The College Board’s AP Psychology course is organized into nine units of study. The unit on developmental psychology includes lessons on gender and sexual orientation. According to the College Board, the course asks students to “describe how sex and gender influence socialization and other aspects of development.” These lessons are now considered illegal under Florida law.
