One day after quoting MLK on MLK Day, Florida MAGA Gov Ron DeSantis cancels AP African American Studies Program, saying it ‘Lacks Educational Value’

This is literally white supremacist talking points & a reminder how much these people still hate MLK today.

Indeed, DeSantis banning AP African American Studies is a reminder of that old quote -- White privilege is when your history is the curriculum and every other history is an elective.

@QasimRashid Here's the letter from the Florida Dept of Education rejecting the AP African American Studies course. Insulting quote:, "As
presented, the content of this course 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."
