Are #APClasses a Waste of Time?
#AdvancedPlacement courses are no recipe for igniting the intellect beyond #highschool. They’re a recipe for extinguishing it.

Roll-Back Advanced Placement is a call for curricular sanity. Time to end bad pedagogy, inappropriate lessons and profiteering. https://tultican.com/2023/08/29/roll-back-advanced-placement/ #AdvancedPlacement

I decided to get up early to grade papers this morning while I have my TV on following #Idalia. I haven't decided on the final form of my AP World History class lesson on the Indian Caste system, Buddhism, Hinduism and reincarnation. I think it will be a fun lesson to teach as my students always seem to be interested in the concept of reincarnation... #education #publicschools #advancedplacement #teaching

#News: #Arkansas Dept of #Education has pulled a #AdvancedPlacement credit for #AfricanAmericanStudies. #Republican Gov #SarahHuckabeeSanders says "We cannot perpetuate a lie to our students & push this propaganda leftist agenda teaching our kids to hate America & hate one another."

EXCEPT that's what the #Republicans are doing!!! I wrote an essay on the #GOP #CultureWar #politics, #BlackHistory #ColorblindRacism, being #woke or #antiwoke, #DiversityandInclusion, & more

#LittleRock School Dist. in #Arkansas will continue to offer #AdvancedPlacement #AfricanAmericanStudies, over objections of Gov #SarahHuckabeeSanders’ admin, a #Republican who has limited instruction on #race.

The decision comes after the State Dept of #Education announced on Mon that the course’s content might violate a new #law banning “indoctrination” in #schools.

AP Psychology Redux in Florida: in a “no-win” situation, state’s largest #school districts won’t offer the course that touches on restricted material on sex and gender after confusing chain of events. I wonder what’s going to happen to Florida #students when they go to #college. I wonder. #education #AdvancedPlacement #FirstAmendment #academicfreedom

If #psychology is #woke, does that mean #AntiWoke is psychotic? Makes sense to me.

Under an expanded #Florida rule, instruction on #GenderIdentity & #SexualOrientation is now restricted in most cases through 12th grade. The #FloridaDepartmentOfEducation had asked the #CollegeBoard & other providers of advanced, college-level courses to search their offerings for potential violations.

But the College Board said that it would not modify its content, & that any course that did not address gender & sexual orientation should not be labeled “#AdvancedPlacement.”

The #CollegeBoard Refuses To Give In To #RonDeSantis’ ‘#DontSayGay’ #Demands

Last week, #Fascist #Florida #Governor #RonDeSantis, ordered The #CollegeBoard to remove any #LGBTQ+ #teachings from an #AdvancedPlacement (AP) #psychology #course

In a statement Thursday, College Board shared parts of a letter its representatives sent to #Florida Governor #RonDeSantis' administration saying the group would not alter its #psychology course’s curriculum to remove references to #SexualOrientation and #GenderIdentity. The move follows the #Republican administration's push for #CollegeBoard to sanitize parts of its #AP #AfricanAmerican #History course.

Supplicants to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis no longer: the #CollegeBoard announces it will revise the #AdvancedPlacement #AP course in African-American history. The board had tried to make the class more palatable to critics like DeSantis but faced the ire of scholars. #education https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/24/us/ap-african-american-studies-college-board.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

While written in couched terms, the #CollegeBoard’s statement appeared to acknowledge that in its quest to offer the course to as many students as possible — including those in conservative states — it watered down key concepts.

The #CollegeBoard said on Mon that it would revise its #AP African American studies course, < 3 mos after releasing it to a barrage of criticism from scholars, who accused the board of omitting key concepts & bending to political pressure from Gov Ron #DeSantis, who had said he would not approve the curriculum in FL.
