A day before the deadline Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gave to the College Board to comply with his law restricting classroom discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity by amending its Advanced Placement class curricula, the company told the Republican governor’s administration that it will not be making the demanded changes.
The Florida Department of Education ordered the College Board in May to change its Advanced Placement (AP) high school psychology course, which addresses gender identity and sexuality, saying the course had to comply with Florida’s restrictions on classroom teaching through 12th grade.
DeSantis, who is running for president in 2024, gave the nonprofit company until June 16 to determine how the course had to be changed.
