Sadly Roy I think you’re way too optimistic. AP AA Studies being something like this would still be way too woke. I expect it will be more like. “How White People Ended Racism But The Blacks Weren’t Grateful Enough So We had To Reintroduce Slavery To Teach Them A Lesson.”
This course would never pass muster in Florida since in Desantisland anyone who so much as makes one think about race is promoting racism. All the names on the class’s list are guilty of that as well as anyone in Florida who is dark but not tan. At New College the only class touching on race from here on will be about the fallacy of “race,” based on DNA and Stephan Colbert’s admission many years ago that he doesn’t see color, so there, libs, gotcha twice!
Also good to know that the way we learned that racism was over was when we saw that Black people can be murdered by Black cops too. I believe this is the world of equal opportunity that Dr. King dreamed of, that all of our children, no matter the color of their skin, can grow up to murder Black people (provided, of course, they're willing to go to police school first.)
Apparently the College Board has folded to DeSantis and his fellow fascists, and is removing numerous authors, including Ta-Nehisi Coates, from its A. P. Curriculum for African-American studies. Absolute cowards.
Because history shows us that the best way to defeat fascism is to...back down. That always works well.
I hadda OOF at "What about Karon"...

Only Wednesday, my vote for the only post this week to unlock.
Dylan's Mom, with her bullhorn and Liberty and such is one of my least favorite kinds of American.
Dylan's mom was Ashli Babbitt.

*That* Sheldon Leonard? I did not know that!!
Ron DeSantis has clearly identified the most important component in any AP African-American History curriculum: not making white people feel bad.
As MLK himself once said, "reverse racism is the worst racism." Oh wait, that was Christopher Rufo.

Jamaal and Aisha, you're wanted in the Principal's office.

Imam Jamil Al-Amin is 78 and in federal prison in Tucson on a bogus Georgia murder conviction. Still kicking.
Well this one was a gut punch.

Your teacher forgot to mention that the KKK were Democrats. Pretty sure Desantis is going to require her to say that.
