  I wonder who is going to put repelling the 14th Amendment as his Presidential campaign agenda first, Trump or DeSantis....
context: Republicans don't even give a shit about their representatives governing. They literally just want them to start culture wars and dish out hits on societal things that they find offensive. Take DeSantis here. Dude has no accomplishments as governor; nothing important legislative, and nothing important economically. Battling "woke" shit like this is his only motivation, and it's what his voters want. >

  Other states should ditch the college board.  Screw them. >
  
  The worst thing College Board could do was back down. They should have just pulled the class in Florida. No one wants a watered down bullshit class on African American history. There’s already enough of that to go around. >
  
  And backing down will just embolden the next attack. >
  
  My hope is the universities will choose not to honor this class.  They don’t have to accept AP credits and a big part of doing so is a review of the curriculum to ensure it meets with the university standards for that topic and match it to a particular class in the university catalog.  I don’t know how any decent university can look at the new curriculum and say it actually covers this topic with any level of integrity.
  I am sure Florida Universities will take it, and most of the south, but hopefully some very big noteworthy ones will publicly refuse to accept that credit towards a degree program. >
  
  I'd go further. Pull AP as a thing completely; it's just a scam for College Board. For example, med schools don't like AP credit, but the students who are looking at med school are precisely the sorts of students who will take AP. High schools don't tell them that they are weakening their future application because they want to boast about the percentage of their students who take AP. 
  Part of what I do is admissions. I don't give a shit if a student has taken an AP class. I also don't care if you gave CB money so you can take the SAT. Let's move on past this bullshit. >
  
  I look at things like the college board, healthcare, and insurance and I think America is a scam. America isn’t the scam, it’s the longstanding institutions, such as the college board, that cripple American innovation and are the scam. >
  
  Desantis took the liquid license away from a small concert venue in Orlando because they allowed a drag show. 
  The concert venue is home to the Orlando philharmonic. He is purposely trying to harm a small business. 
  He did it just to be cruel. There is no reason for the location to not have a liquor license. >
  
  Havent had this level of irony since Alanis.. nope, we never had this level, this is hilarious. >
  
  Critical theory isn't even taught below graduate school.  Republicans are shameful in their moral panic to ban it. >
  
  Republicans don’t even understand what it is either. Of course that applies to most things they are outraged about. Especially how they call everything “woke.” They have no idea what that means. >
  
  The College Board and Ron DeSantis deserve one another.  The College Board is made up of greedy corporatist sycophants who will bend over for whomever will promise them a reliable market share and relevance.  DeSantis, like all fascists, feeds on sycophancy, and can now boast that he made the pointy headed woke intellectuals back down. Of course, he did no such thing, but scarcely anyone will appreciate the difference. >
  
  Probably one of the only reasons why College Board did this is because Florida has an lot of Big Colleges and University. >
  
  Decent school systems should stop hosting College Board AP curriculum. >
  
  Large university systems, like UC, should refuse to accept any high school AP credits from Florida students. Go to you alligator school & learn nothing there instead. >
  
  I hate that College Board's commodification of education has created cover to imagine that DeSantis has a point. I mean, let's be clear: he doesn't.  This is just more culture war bullshit from a party that hates black people and education and so is attacking a point where they converge. The failings of College Board and its AP system have nothing to do with it, but now DeSantis and his retrograde supporters get to claim credit for the spotlight being shined on them. >
  
  Their base equates African American studies with just bashing white people and nothing else, and Western Civilization studies supposedly only covers how great white people are.
