The College Board, the company that develops Advance Placement (AP) courses for high schools across the nation, has revised its AP African American Studies curriculum to remove some topics that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has called out earlier this year for advancing a “woke” agenda.

In the finalized course plan for AP African American Studies, published on Wednesday, several topics flagged by the Florida government as inappropriate are found to be excluded or downgraded, meaning that they won’t appear on the final AP exam.
