AP is elective, and is supposed to lead to college credit. The College Board sets the standard for curriculum and the AP test. The College Board is a private organization. The job of a governor is to ensure truth in advertising, not to censor. These are ELECTIVE courses. If the courses do lead to college credit, and there are teachers who want to teach and students who want to study, that is all that matters.

What policy? Not to censor the College Board when it proposes a curriculum and an AP test?

You can't because Whoopie is ignorant as usual and misrepresented it. AP is elective, and is supposed to lead to college credit. The College Board sets the standard for curriculum and the AP test. The College Board is a private organization. The job of a governor is to ensure truth in advertising, not to censor. These are ELECTIVE courses. If the courses do lead to college credit, and there are teachers who want to teach and students who want to take them, that is all that matters. If the courses do not really lead to college credit, they should be scraped, not revised.

Correct. The College Board sets the standard for curriculum and the AP test. The College Board is a private organization. The job of a governor is to ensure truth in advertising, not to censor. These are ELECTIVE courses. If the courses do lead to college credit, and there are teachers who want to teach and students who want to study, that is all that matters.

@jl52l46 The College Board is a private entity.

bell hooks is radical? Good grief.

@PabloTheThinker We are finally on the same page about something.

@krillin876 AP is a program run by the College Board, a private entity. Why don't you look it up? I did, to see what they are offering at the moment. These are electives, and passing the exam should result in receiving college credit from most colleges, especially state schools. The job of a governor is to make sure that the students who do the work, counting on saving money at college by obtaining some credits while still in high school, actually achieve that goal. Instead, we have cheap grandstanding and censorship. Everyone likes censorship by "their side," suddenly.

@krillin876 You "guarantee?" You have a solid record for checking your claims.

AP is elective. The course is supposed to lead to real college credits, based on exams administered by the College Board. The College Board is private.

This isn't even relevant. AP is elective, and is supposed to lead to college credit. The College Board sets the standard for curriculum and the AP test. The College Board is a private organization.

If the courses do lead to college credit, and there are teachers who want to teach and students who want to study, that is all that matters. If the courses do not really lead to college credit, they should be scraped, not revised by a politician.

@PabloTheThinker It's not indoctrination, it's an AP course, purely elective. Florida students will go on to college all over the country. Will this lead to AP credit or not? If yes, let them take it. If no, scrap it. You're not thinking. You're reacting to Whoopie Goldberg's nonsense. She never knows what she's talking about.

@TylerRein Not for AP. The College Board decides if the courses are worthy of credit. CB is private.

@PabloTheThinker You think voters should get to vote on what merits college credits?

@PabloTheThinker College Board is a private entity. They design and administer AP tests.

@PabloTheThinker Well, for your information, those facilities are used for a lot of things outside the required curriculum, including prayer meetings for kids who form a club and choose to attend. I don't look to stop them, just to make sure there is no pressure on anyone to go.

I don't know why they had Whoopie Goldberg to start off the segment. She confuses everything, as usual. She thought Jill Biden had an MD and would make a great Surgeon General. She proved she doesn't know WWII history. Now she's an authority on AP curricula? Stop the madness, lol.

@PabloTheThinker AP is not part of the curriculum for graduation, but only as an elective for those who want to sit for the exam to get college credits.
1
@PabloTheThinker That's what I meant about Whoopie's complete ignorance of the whole matter. She is an example of someone who should have zero influence on curriculum, and I don't care if she goes and wins an election tomorrow. Perfect example of what I mean!

You don't know what AP is, then.

@krillin876 Examples of AP subjects: AP Comparative Government and Politics AP European History AP Human Geography AP Macroeconomics AP Microeconomics AP Psychology AP United States Government and Politics AP United States History AP World History: Modern AP Art History AP Music Theory AP Latin yeah oh well . . . but if someone won by 30 percentage points . . . I guess they don't have to work as hard at their job . . .

@vincentschicchi4647 You know what? It's just another push toward private schools, as if we needed one more. Public school kids need to be sure that the AP classes they take, and the AP exams they pass, really do lead to college credits. If it turns out that almost no college will accept this AP exam for credit, then it should be scraped, because it is misleading. If colleges do give credit for it, as promised to the kids who take the class, then leave them alone. Politicians are not experts on curriculum, but they can enforce basic "truth in advertising." They should not be censoring, and they should care whether public school kids get the same opportunities as private school kids, as much as possible. That is their real job. I would bet anything DeSantis never read those authors. Nor did he look into the objective value of the curriculum for obtaining college credit -- and warning people if there is an objective problem. (That serves all "sides.") Then Whoopie Goldberg is even more ignorant. She sounds like she has no notion of what the issue is, and just wants to push something that sounds like it agrees with her biases. We already know what an expert on history she is. /s Everyone in this picture is making bank. Do you see them, er, working? Pandering, more like, for their own advantage.

@dorian7215 No, it doesn't. In fact, the College Board is technically a nonprofit with public service/charitable aims, pays no taxes, and has a huge portfolio of investments, some of which is offshore. They solicit money from the state only to subsidize AP and SAT exam fees for students from lower income families, not their own operations.

These are ELECTIVE courses. If the courses do lead to college credit, and there are teachers who want to teach and students who want to take the class, that is all that matters. If the courses do not really lead to college credit, they should be scraped entirely, not "revised" by a politician.

@dorian7215 I love how you put that.

Oh yeah? AP is elective, and is supposed to lead to college credit. The College Board sets the standard for curriculum and the AP test. The College Board is a private organization. The job of a governor is to ensure truth in advertising, not to censor. These are ELECTIVE courses. If the courses do lead to college credit, and there are teachers who want to teach and students who want to study, that is all that matters. If the courses do not lead to college credit as promised, they should not be allowed to go forward, revised or not.
