  It gives in. "black conservative history"? Literally doesn't exist.  However, they're now ok with pretending lgtbq people of color never existed. 
  Just don't certify courses in Florida.  That's the easy answer
context: Basically, they want African American history to END with a romanticized and "colorblind" MLK. Everything was fine after the passage of the Civil Rights Act!
  DeSantis et al are saying they are trying to fight. indoctrination. 
  This is a lie. 
  They crave indoctrination for students, but on their terms and with their programs. A part of their program is getting minorities and marginalized people to STFU.
  Case in point: DeSantis is getting help from people like Larry Arnn of Hillsdale College and who was on the 1776 Commission.
  Here's a fun excerpt from their report.
  
  The Civil Rights Movement culminated in the 1960s with the passage of three major legislative reforms 
  affecting segregation, voting, and housing rights. It presented itself, and was understood by the American people, as consistent with the principles of the founding
  
  This makes it sound like every American was cool with Civil Rights reforms in the 60s and that the Civil Rights Movement was DONE with those (it "culminated").
  This is basically 'Murica fanfic, because tons of people were not cool with it and actively opposed it.
  George Wallace ran for President on a third party ticket in 1968. He ran on "segregation forever."
  He won five states. Five fucking states. The most successful third party Presidential candidate of the latter half of the 20th century ran on racism.
  But Ron DeSantis and Larry AARRRNNN (a surname obviously derived from the disgusted sounds people make upon meeting the malignant spawn of that particulargene pool) want you to think racism was solved in the 60s and MLK just wanted "colorblindness." >
  
  "hey let's leave out the part about water fountains and incarceration discrepancies because it makes people upset, and we don't wanna upset them."
  .... Meanwhile, these same people insist that the national mainstream dialogue be a constant conversation about having relations with children. >
  
  I love how my grandparents talk about black history- its all about how black history is designed to make white kids feel guilty for what their ancestors did. They keep insisting that we can't possibly teach black history until we can do it without shaming white people. >

  The College Board is a bullshit organization that has a virtual monopoly on many education related products, including standardized testing and financial aid applications.  It’s been accused of violating its nonprofit status and paying its leadership enormous salaries and compensation.  The fact that they caved is not in the least surprising >
  
  Let this be the decision that dooms them. >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  The College Board released the curriculum for its new AP African American Studies course Wednesday, revealing that the group had stripped the course of the topics that prompted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to ban the course.
  The result is a course that traces the Black experience from Africa, through slavery, Jim Crow, and the Civil Rights Movement, but mostly stops around 1980.
  Reading the framework, it appears that the enduring legacy of that earlier history is not reflected in the course material, which now fails to acknowledge the movements, thinking, and people grappling with that history and advocating for racial justice over the last four decades.

  I think it’s clever of the college board. Rather than fighting the entrenched power system they are proactively surrendering. 
  Desantis is a hack but this solution calls their  bluff. 
  It puts the focus on primary sources and let’s local teachers bring in their own materials, which will likely be the original materials. 
  The primaries are pretty telling and I’m glad these sheltered Florida kids will have access to the actual history, this plus an encouragement to even google will bring most of the wisdom of this course to the pupils.
  If desantis angers you. Take or audit this or a similar course. There is a lot to learn.
