I think it\u2019s trash. It\u2019s not African American history. It is ideology,\u201d Proctor continued. \u201cI\u2019ve taught African American history, I\u2019ve structured syllabuses for African American history. I am African American history. And talking about \u2018queer\u2019 and \u2018feminism\u2019 and all of that for the struggle for freedom and equality and justice has not been no tension with queerness and feminist thought at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the Florida Department of Education published <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\">Be informed<\/a> the organization 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 And \u201chistorically accurate.\u201d The course is currently in progress <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> Five dozen high schools in the country are devoted to leftist activism, rather than studying black history.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis, who signed legislation last year preventing the state\u2019s government schools from teaching discrimination on the basis of race, color, or sex, detailed a number of his <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FLVoiceNews\/status\/1617550727534252032\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Concerns<\/a> Press conference: Course overview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re advocating things like abolishing prisons,\u201d DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/theyre-advocating-for-things-like-abolishing-prisons-desantis-discusses-why-he-banned-african-american-studies-course\"><\/a>. \u201cNow that\u2019s a radical political position. \u2026 It\u2019s not fair to say that somehow abolishing prisons is linked to black experiences, that that\u2019s what black people want. I think they want law and order, just like anybody else wants law and order.
