This wicked pattern of political ineptitude was broken by Gov. Ron DeSantis refused to allow College Board to apply for Florida public schools in order to teach its anti-American African American studies class. <\/p>\n<p>Due to DeSantis\u2019 courageous and principled stand, College Board <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/big-win-for-desantis-in-battle-over-ap-african-american-studies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Back down<\/a>. Last week, the huge curriculum and testing organization was published <a href=\"https:\/\/apcentral.collegeboard.org\/media\/pdf\/ap-african-american-studies-course-framework.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Revision<\/a> of the grievance studies class\u2019s scope and sequence, which it had formerly kept secret from the very taxpayers funding it. College Board removed most overtly Marxist-baiting study materials, and added a token \u201cblack conservatism\u201d Option to the long list of optional essay topics. <\/p>\n<p>It is still shameful that the course does not include Clarence Thomas, one among the most respected legal thinkers of all ancestries. It is still clearly tilted politically to the left, not only by not focusing on the extensive and rich African-American tradition for Christian worship. Scholar Stanley Kurtz <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/big-win-for-desantis-in-battle-over-ap-african-american-studies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">summarizes <\/a>National Review has made some changes:<\/p>\n<p>Nearly every topic that was not covered was filled with socialism or CRT or another radical perspective. Originally, an entire topic was devoted to Frantz Fanon\u2019s glorification of violence \u2014 and its influence on black radicals in America. It is no longer a topic. Another topic that was criticized in a one-sided fashion was American foreign policy in Haiti. Gone. Also, the unit on black queer studies was also deleted. That was DeSantis&#8217;s victory.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/pritzker-demands-black-queer-history-in-ap-african-american-studies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Showdown with Governor Pritzker<\/a>. A topic \u2018Afrocentricity,\u2019 The scholarly legitimacy of this unit, whose validity is highly disputed, has been removed. CRT-based units that labeled colorblindness as racist are also gone (in direct contravention of Florida law). Units that plug reparations, prison abolishment, intersectionality, the socialist platform for the Movement for Black Lives and the revolutionary meditations by Robin D. G. Kelley are also gone. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a clear political win for DeSantis. His choice to fight advanced his voters\u2019 interests. In fact, he was also advancing national interests because funding its enemies is clearly a danger to any nation. This is an obvious fact, but it&#8217;s important to make connections in today&#8217;s world. As usual, every single Republican needs to learn from DeSantis\u2019 example that going to political war for your voters is a winning strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it is not in Americans\u2019 interest that, even in a more moderated form, this kind of class be taught <em>Anywhere <\/em>\u2014 Not in high school, not in colleges. Because it\u2019s fashionable to attack what a conservative did <em>not <\/em>say, let\u2019s be clear: African-American history is American history and should <em>Naturally<\/em> Every American should be taught well, thoroughly, and accurately. <\/p>\n<p>But African-Americans are also a part of the American Dream <em>studies <\/em>African-Americans aren&#8217;t the same class as whites. <em>Histories<\/em> classes. They\u2019re about identity politics grievance-mongering, which is really about pushing cultural Marxism, the division of Americans into bitterly divided grievance groups that pave the way for undoing Americans\u2019 constitutional individual rights. This is the antithesis both of American happiness and American creed. This is the essence of the dispute. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, lazy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The long march through the institutions must meet a long march back to sanity.
