An AP lesson:  Progressive brainwashing only stops when people pay attention

By Andrew Gutmann
April 27, 2023

In January of this year, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ administration rejected a pilot version of the College Board’s new Advanced Placement course on African American studies.

In a letter to the College Board, Florida’s Department of Education called the new course “historically inaccurate,” “ideological” and a violation of Florida state law.

In a subsequent press conference, DeSantis stated that the state was blocking the course because it included topics such as queer theory and abolishing prisons.

“That’s a political agenda,” added DeSantis.

Within weeks, the College Board released a revised framework for the course, which replaced the original pilot version, and which eliminated much of the material to which Florida and many conservatives had objected.

What the brouhaha over the AP African American study course really illustrates is the lack of transparency and lack of input parents have over the education of their children.

In fact, secrecy is exactly how woke ideology is infused into our schools.

Florida was correct for calling out and rejecting the College Board’s woke agenda, and standing up against the political indoctrination of its state’s children.

But what if Florida had not done so?

How many American children would have been exposed to anti-American and illiberal ideologies such as critical race theory?

And that's a great deal of the problem in this country - people just walking around in their suburbanite stupor and not keeping tabs on things.
The Republic is lost.

Exactly.
