Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz, Jr. has instructed Florida school officials to teach College Board’s AP Psychology course “in its entirety,” according to a letter obtained by ABC News from the state Department of Education.
DeSantis is gonna have such a big boy tantrum
great, cus i just stocked up on popcorn. between destantis and trump i’ll gain 5 pounds.
Hey, look at that, an educator standing up for education in Florida. Florida man isn’t going to like that.
This Florida man is not unhappy about this at all.
So, how long should we expect until Mr. Diaz Jr. finds himself without a job for speaking out against the “will of the state”?
The problem is he’s probably trying to set up teachers as scapegoats for his survival strategy
Can someone tldr all this Florida shit? It seems to me Florida teachers aren’t allowed to teach basic…well education unless they’re including some weird Christian shit.
Well I know an AP English lit teacher in Florida who has been told he is not even allowed to teach Vonnegut, and has been instructed to teach parts of the Bible. Does that help?
AP psych courses have stricter standards than other courses (so that they qualify as AP). AP psych standards, for 30ish years, have required instructions on gender identity.
Back when I took psychology. Gender and sexuality were a small snippet of the course.
You didn’t really cover those topics till human sexuality.
I have taught basic psychology for over ten years and it was something I never covered. Wonder when they started to add it. Basic psychology was more focused on well, basic topics. Theory, history, etc.
