The Florida Department of Education sent a letter to the College Board, which runs the AP program, on May 19 asking the organization to review all AP courses to see if they "need modification to ensure compliance" with a Florida law and state Board of Education rule targeting instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The College Board responded Thursday with a defiant letter stating that "we will not modify our courses to accommodate restrictions teaching essential, college-level topics." That could set up a showdown between Florida and College Board officials.
Kicking out AP might be one of the best ways to wake up well off white parents that there might be something wrong with this guy.The latest in Ron DiShonest's war on woke. Gotta get that LGBTQIA+ stuff out of AP courses now. What group is next?

No state income tax still pulls in a net positive population influx every year.What exactly is the benefit meant to be here for the average Florida person?
Oh, probably none, just a hand-up for his fascist buddy while protecting the monied interests of the car dealership business.
WA has no state income tax and isn't a shithole state, so there's thatNo state income tax still pulls in a net positive population influx every year.
No great beaches tho.WA has no state income tax and isn't a shithole state, so there's that

If you can swim in Lake Michigan, you can swim at La Push beach. Done both.No great beaches tho.
Lucid, Tesla and Rivian get a pass. The ban is for historic makers making EVs. Remember Ford was considering going direct to consumer at one point. A dealer placing a higher MSRP pockets the difference while the oem gets whatever they asked for which wouldn't be exorbitant. ford sells enough vehicles that this won't put a dent and they're inclined to pay into whoever will reverse this decision or side fund any lawsuits against desantis's admin.I don't want to lead the witness. Is there any corruption here? If there is, can you spot it?

DeSantis was asked about his love of baseball in a recent interview, which he praised as a "meritocratic" game where people of different sizes and skill levels can perform well at various positions, contrasting it with basketball.
"I think that there's kind of a place for everybody in a baseball team if you're willing to work hard, if you're willing to practice… I kind of thought it was always a very democratic game, a very meritocratic game," he told CBN.
"Whereas I kind of viewed basketball as like 'these guys are just freaks of nature.' They're just incredible athletes.
There is enough real racism from him, I don't think we need to manufacture outrage over him liking baseball more than basketball. And what he really said is you can be a shitty athlete and still find a place on a baseball team, while you have to be an amazing athlete to be a basketball player.DeSantis employs racist dog whistle comparing the NBA which is predominately black to MLB which is predominately white. I guess those darkie NBA players don't work hard unlike those hard working palefaces in baseball.
Ron DeSantis pushes racist tropes in latest comments about basketball and baseball players

I have to say, as a social liberal who hates DeSantis with an unholy passion, I too saw nothing racist or dog whistling in his comments.There is enough real racism from him, I don't think we need to manufacture outrage over him liking baseball more than basketball. And what he really said is you can be a shitty athlete and still find a place on a baseball team, while you have to be an amazing athlete to be a basketball player.
I think that is true, there are far more fat people in baseball than basketball. At least from the quote, he never said basketball player didn't also work hard to home their skills, just that a little fat kid could potentially play in the MLB but not the NBA with enough work.
I can't believe I'm defending this shit bag, but the overactive liberal rage machine on social media annoys me.🤔

100% thisThere is though. Baseball: hard work, practice, meritocracy. Basketball: freaks of nature. Baseball players must work for what they can achieve. Basketball players are just that way, no effort needed.
You can say someone is a freak of nature and not discount the hard work they put in. I've seen plenty of people call Michael Phelps a freak of nature too. I understand it can be racist, but I'd much rather bitch about him yanking MLK out of classrooms than whether he thinks black people are just naturally amazing athletes and white people aren't.There is though.

Kinda like black teen shoots person, thug. Same teen but white is misunderstood youth. That's why crime surges in Chicago are committed by thugs vs Jan 6 patriots.I have to say, as a social liberal who hates DeSantis with an unholy passion, I too saw nothing racist or dog whistling in his comments.
