The curriculum was rejected by Ron DeSantis last week for use in Sunshine State public schools. DeSantis called it a violation in state law for its dependence on critical race theory. Joy Pullmann, my colleague, has made this clear in these pages: Every conservative state leader should <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/01\/23\/like-desantis-every-republican-lawmaker-should-block-college-boards-critical-race-theory-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">do the same<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The apparent critical race theory course masquerading as AP African-American Studies isn\u2019t College Board\u2019s only foray into politics.

College Board also has <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/05\/17\/college-board-juke-sat-test-scores-reflect-student-privilege\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">launched<\/a> a feature toying with its SAT test metrics to reflect students\u2019 \u201cprivilege,\u201d Slapping an \u201cadversity score\u201d Students can view their test results to see factors such as income or neighborhood crime.<\/p>\n<p>College Board holds the monopoly on AP exams, in addition to the SAT which is perhaps the most widely administered college entrance exam. So where does that leave high school students and their parents, who want access to the potential college credit that AP courses provide but don\u2019t want to sign up for the left-leaning propaganda that worms its way into College Board materials? <\/p>\n<p>Most colleges require at least a score of 3 or higher (out of a possible 5) on College Board\u2019s AP exams in order for a student to receive college credit for the course, so taking the official test is likely unavoidable for students seeking to count their AP classes on college transcripts. However, there are alternatives. <em>Curricula <\/em>These schools can prepare students for AP exams efficiently without the left-wing propaganda that many public high schools (armed by College Board guidelines) will allow. <\/p>\n<p>When I was in high school, I took AP European History, AP U.S. History, and AP English Language and Composition through the Home School Legal Defense Association\u2019s (HSLDA) Online Academy. These courses allowed me to score 4s or 5s, and I was able to receive college credit for them all (at my college equivalent to four semester-long classes). Additionally, they provided an education that recognized the contributions of Western civilization as well as the Christian debt history owes it.<\/p>\n<p>Professors with history doctorates supervised both history courses. They had compiled material and classroom teachers led student sessions. Primary source documents made up a sizeable part of each week\u2019s assigned materials. <\/p>\n<p>European History is a study of greats like Martin Luther and Galileo, Newton and Pascal, as well as the works and opinions of controversial figures. \u201cprogressive\u201d Figures such as Darwin, Marx, Lenin, Marx and Lenin are viewed from a classical Christian viewpoint. Our source materials included Beethoven\u2019s music and Lord Byron\u2019s poetry and Renaissance paintings.
