Why they just pull all AP classes from Florida? Each state doesn't get to make up what history they want to teach.
How long before DeSantis requires all places of education in Florida to hang a picture of him on the wall and say a pledge of non-wokeness to him every day? >

But in a non political way, right. Whatever the fuck that means! >

Cool. Florida gets to dictate what the rest of the country can learn. 
College Board should have pulled all AP classes from Florida >

I doubt College Board is changing that quickly because of DeSantis. The timing of this on the part of DeSantis is suspicious. Almost like he knew changes were coming to the curriculum in a week and could make hay on being the agent of change against the woke libs. >

Floridian and former AP student here. That class wasn’t offered at my high school or any of my friend’s. I’m curious how big of a problem this is. >

One of the most ignorant things he has said is to suggest history isn't political. From the revolution on, American history and politics are inseparable. Everything is political. The reason my street gets paved and someone's in Kentucky doesn't is political. We can't separate our lives from the mechanism that governs and determines how we eat, sleep, shit, travel, and behave in society. That's not how any of this works. He wants people to be ignorant of politics so that he and other authoritarians like him can have control over your life. >

It's not ignorant. It's the sort of bad faith framing (or more formally, "semantic infiltration") that Republicans excel at, defining the terms of debate in a way that everyone else takes at face value and adopts without even thinking about it.
They're making everything extra political, but at the same time, they're lying and deflecting by saying that they're not and that it's really the fault of Democrats or liberals or professors or black people or trans people or gas stoves or whatever the bogeyman of the day is. But because they say they're not, all the "serious" talking heads and column writers hava to pretend that they're not, even when that's obviously a lie. >

Wrong move College Board. Wrong move.
