Florida school superintendents were told on Thursday that Advanced Placement (AP) Psychology classes will only be allowed in schools if they exclude the portions on sexual identity and gender identity, effectively banning the course in the state of Florida.
The College Board, which oversees the AP program, issued a long statement on Florida’s decision Thursday. It reiterated its June statement that AP classes cannot be modified in such a manner, and AP Psychology cannot be taught if these topics are omitted.
