The College Board dispute with Florida over Advanced Placement courses escalated on Thursday as the education nonprofit accused Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration of having 'effectively banned' a high school psychology course.
. The current controversy over AP psychology classes revolves around lessons on sexual orientation and identity.
Florida's Department of Education responded that the College Board is trying to force school districts to"prevent students from taking the AP Psychology Course" just one week before the start of school. In a May letter to the College Board, Florida's Department of Education Office of Articulation asked the organization"to immediately conduct a thorough review of all College Board courses and inform the Office of Articulation, by June 16, 2023, whether these courses need modification to ensure compliance. Some courses may contain content or topics prohibited by State Board of Education rule and Florida law.
More than 28,000 Florida students took AP Psychology in the 2022-23 academic year, according to the College Board. Tens of thousands of students will be impacted in the upcoming academic year.
