However, this language is nearly identical to what the College Board includes in its\u2062 current curriculum\u2063 for AP African American Studies, which is widely\u200d taught in schools across \u200dthe country.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. William Allen, a \u200cformer chairman of the \u2062U.S. Commission on \u200dCivil \u200dRights and member of Florida&#8217;s African American History Standards \u2064Workgroup, strongly criticized Harris and others \u200bspreading\u2062 these allegations, calling them\u2062 &#8220;lies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During the debate, Univision&#8217;s \u2063Ilia Calder\u00f3n\u200d brought up the \u200bissue, accusing DeSantis of hurting people with the curriculum. DeSantis immediately dismissed the accusation as a hoax and emphasized that the\u200b curriculum was written by descendants of slaves who are respected black \u200chistory\u200c scholars.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis&#8217;s response\u2062 was\u2062 repeatedly interrupted by Senator Tim Scott, who \u2062urged him to remove the controversial sentence \u2064from\u200c the curriculum.\u200b DeSantis, however, argued that the focus should be on improving the education system rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-face-gun-legislation-dilemma-as-support-for-house-background-check-bill-breaks-down\/\" title=\"Democrats Face Gun Legislation Dilemma as Support for House Background Check Bill Breaks Down\u00a0\">playing political games<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u200b proudly\u200d highlighted\u200c Florida&#8217;s achievements in education, including \u2064being \u2063ranked number one in the nation by US News and World Report.
