Florida’s Department of Education has rejected claims made on Aug. 3, that it would be banning Advance Placement (AP) psychology in high school classrooms.

District superintendents were recently informed that the current AP psychology courses will only be allowed in schools if the sections on sexual identity and gender identity were removed.
