Florida voted no to the College Board’s African American Studies Advanced Placement Course. Virginia now has the opportunity to examine the course.

Virginia Governor. Macaulay Porter spoke on behalf of Glenn Youngkin.

Youngkin’s January 2022 executive order called for the end of divisive concepts and critical race theory.

The Washington Post reported the first time that Arkansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, and North Dakota are reviewing the course’s contents.

Last month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stopped the AP course. It is currently being tested in scores high schools across the country. He claimed it violates Florida law, and that it is historical inaccurate.

According to the College Board, the course draws on the expertise and experience of college teachers and will be the most rigorous Black Studies program that high school students have ever experienced.

While Virginia’s state education department reviews the materials, it is the local school divisions that decide which AP courses they offer.
