Florida Bans AP Psychology Over Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Teachings

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% :The AP Psychology development committee at the College Board stated that the course cannot be given credit without the portions on sexual orientation and gender identity because "psychology graduates go on to pursue a range of careers and must be able to successfully navigate professional environments that will require familiarity with these concepts."
45% : The College Board has been critical of Florida's education policy changes, as the state continues to embark on Gov. Ron DeSantis's mission to remove Marxist-leaning ideologies from public education.
43% : 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.
