Ron DeSantis And The Battle Over Black History
This week, the College Board released the updated framework for its advanced African American Studies course amid backlash from conservative lawmakers over the curriculum.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Department of Education banned the course from being taught in the state's public schools.
In a statement, the FDOE called the course a violation of state law and lacking in historical value, a claim that many experts and historians refute.
Critics say it's a further attempt by conservative politicians to limit what and how history – particularly racial history – is taught.
We discuss the role of politics in determining school curriculum.
