This was a reference to the start of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/black-history-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black History Month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Following reports that the curriculum is in its final stages of development, conservatives have reacted negatively to it. <a href=\"https:\/\/apcentral.collegeboard.org\/about-ap\/how-ap-develops-courses-and-exams\/pilot-ap-african-american-studies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pilots<\/a> At five dozen high schools across America, the focus is on leftist activism instead of the study and teaching of black history. Florida Department of Education recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/contrary-to-florida-law-desantis-rejects-high-school-course-emerging-nationwide-over-wokeness-concerns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">informed<\/a> the College Board that the course\u2019s content is \u201cinexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value,\u201d Adding that the state would reconsider its course if the material is made by the organization \u201clawful\u201d  \u201chistorically accurate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The College Board referenced the beginning of Black History Month in a statement provided to The Daily Wire announcing the course structure\u2019s public release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis framework, under development since March 2022, replaces the preliminary pilot course framework under discussion to date,\u201d According to the organization. \u201cWe are grateful for the contributions of\u202fexperts, teachers, and students and look forward to sharing the framework broadly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The College Board previously refused to release the AP African American Studies curriculum. They claimed that it contained proprietary information. Before any national implementation, the course will likely undergo revisions.<\/p>\n<p>AP courses can be taken in high school and are often used to earn college credit for students who have been accepted to undergraduate programs.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of teaching African American Studies have claimed that these courses encourage holistic thinking about American History. However, some skeptics claim that such courses can be used to teach grievance and left-wing advocacy. The College Board\u2019s website suggests that a major in African American studies can prepare a student for only <a href=\"https:\/\/apstudents.collegeboard.org\/choosing-courses\/major-career-results\/major\/african-american-studies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one<\/a> Career field, activism, and community organizing. However, the organization states that a history major could prepare students for a career in this area. <a href=\"https:\/\/apstudents.collegeboard.org\/choosing-courses\/major-career-results\/major\/history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multitude<\/a> Many career options are available, including law and anthropology.<\/p>\n<p>Florida Republican Governor. Ron DeSantis, who signed legislation last year preventing the state\u2019s government schools from teaching discrimination on the basis of race, color, or sex, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/theyre-advocating-for-things-like-abolishing-prisons-desantis-discusses-why-he-banned-african-american-studies-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">emerged<\/a> He is a prominent skeptic for the new AP African American Studies program. He pointed out that the course submits prison abolition policies for student consideration, even though these suggestions are supported primarily by left-wing activists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re advocating things like abolishing prisons. Now that\u2019s a radical political position,\u201d DeSantis stated this to reporters. \u201cYou\u2019re free to take that in your own life, I don\u2019t think very many people think that would actually work, but how is that being taught as fact?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis stated that black history is not inherently different from the rest of America&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what our standards for black history are: it\u2019s just cut-and-dry history. You learn all the basics, you learn about the great figures,\u201d He made a comment. \u201cI view it as American history. I don\u2019t view it as separate history.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The College Board announced on Tuesday that the curriculum for AP African American Studies would be publicly released on February 1, citing the start of Black History Month.
