On Sunday, the College Board, whose AP program includes 38 courses, accused Florida of “slander” and said it complained about the African American studies class for “their political agenda.”
The organization said it regretted that it had not denounced the Florida education department’s comments about the course sooner and more forcibly. The department last month said the pilot version of the class “lacks educational value” and included topics that violate Florida law, such as critical race theory, and would “indoctrinate” students.
The College Board also said that Florida officials told it in September that the AP African American studies course was unacceptable but refused to provide details about its objections, a charge the organization also made last week after the department released a timeline of contact with the College Board.
A conversation with education department officials provided no details either as department staff asked “uninformed questions,” such as, “Does the course promote Black Panther thinking?” the College Board’s statement said. “We have made the mistake of treating FDOE with the courtesy we always accord to an education agency, but they have instead exploited this courtesy for their political agenda,” the College Board said.
