White House Attacks DeSantis For Blocking High School Course Teaching ‘Black Queer Studies’ – By Eric Quintanar (Daily Wire) / Jan 20, 2023

The Biden administration on Friday blasted as “incomprehensible” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s move to block a controversial African American studies course from being taught in the state’s public high schools, even as leaks revealed the course’s syllabus leans into wokeism.

The College Board, which is developing the curriculum, was told by the Florida Department of Education last week that it would not allow the new course in its schools. But the decision has prompted criticism, with many, including the White House, suggesting that Florida was blocking the teaching of black history.

“If you think about the study of black Americans, that is what he wants to block,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, later adding that Florida didn’t block the more traditional AP European History or Art History. “But the state chooses to block a course that is meant for high-achieving high school students to learn about their history of arts and culture. It is incomprehensible.”

The College Board’s AP African American Studies course is currently in the pilot phase, and the company has not publicly released the curriculum. However, a copy of the curriculum that was leaked to The Florida Standard shows it has a woke streak.
