Thousands of kids take advanced placement courses yearly to get the upper hand in college.
They also take the SATs to show colleges how skilled they are in specific classes. This happens in various states nationwide, including Florida. However, DeSantis says that it doesnt have to be that way.
The College Board is the board of people that oversees these courses and tests. DeSantis wants to take a second look at the relationship between the board and schools.
Many high school students are worried. One student, Eli Rhoads, received a full scholarship thanks to his hard work and AP courses. He doesnt think it would have happened without them.
On Saturday, the College Board accused DeSantis of bringing politics into education because DeSantis said the new Advanced Placement African-American Studies course lacked educational value. This led to the course being rejected.
Then, DeSantis made his remarks during a press conference. He did not state what changes he wanted to implement, though. According to Miami Herald, This College Board, like, nobody elected them to anything, DeSantis said at a news conference Monday in Naples. They are just kind of there, and they provide a service, and so you can either utilize those services or not.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is accused of bringing politics into the classroom by Democrats. Miami Herald says, This is about the governor trying to cancel the companies he doesnt like, said state Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando. Hes screaming and complaining about ideology being pushed onto our schools, yet what he continues to do is push his ideology onto us.
Many say that the College Board is just the latest victim of DeSantis. He also recently went after Disney, coincidentally after they went against his bill dubbed the Dont Say Gay Bill.
While Democrats claim that hes shoving conservative ideologies down their throats, all DeSantis is doing is refusing to comply with their woke ideologies, and we love him for that.
