If College Board edits out important terms like “intersectionality” and “Black Queer Studies” from the AP African American Studies course, they will be complicit in the continued erasure and violence against these communities.
The College Board needs to step up. Because it's not worth our time rationalizing the conservative demands, when College Board has the power to say no to racism.
But this is the precise moment that they always cave. I've seen it before.
White supremacists will always try to limit access to info b/c empowered groups of people will upend oppressive systems.
Other conservative governors will almost certainly pull similar stunts. College Board should have expected this reaction & they need to respond in a big way.
🧵 I’m not surprised by DeSantis’ political stunt to reject AP African American Studies in Florida.
What matters now is how College Board responds. They can fight such blatant racism by offering the course online to all, sidestepping local censorship.

AP African American Studies is an incredible opportunity for students to learn our history & it’s shameful – though not surprising – that Gov. DeSantis opposes this. Proud to support Amanda from Fiveable 🌶️ of Fiveable to call on College Board to step up: 5able.me/3XFssZv
Once again, students are stepping up & fighting for their rights in Florida. Let's make sure they're not alone in this fight to keep #APAfricanAmericanStudies as an option for all students.
Keep going Victoria, Elijah, & Juliette, we're with you!
What about you College Board?
