Quote from: Espnthree on February 01, 2023, 11:41:28 AMNews ItemThe College Board on Wednesday released a revised version of an Advanced Placement African American studies course following criticism from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who refused to allow the program to run in Florida schools.In a new framework for the course reviewed by The Hill, Black writers and scholars associated with critical race theory have been scrubbed from the curriculum, as have those who touch on the Black queer experience and Black feminism. Other topics, like Black Lives Matter, are now optional. The Board also added Black conservatism as a potential research topic. David Coleman, the head of the College Board, told The New York Times that these changes were not made to bow to political pressure. At the College Board, we cannot look to statements of political leaders,Coleman said. The changes, he said, came from the input of professors and longstanding A.P. principles.More Conservative Cancel Culture.

Why should the College Board care about how many votes DeSantis received?

DeSantis is the most popularly elected Governor in Florida history and his vision for Education in the state was hardly a secret. The College Board could hardly ignore that fact. Elections have consequences.

Then you tell us that the CB was so influenced, and in fact that DeSantis vote count was a factor.Well, which is it?
