47% : "It strains credulity to believe that our reviewers would certify for college credit a psychology course that didn't include gender identity," American Council on Education president Ted Mitchell said in the statement.
47% : In 2022, DeSantis also signed the Parental Rights in Education bill, which critics called the "Don't Say Gay" bill, limiting how students are taught topics on sexual orientation and gender identity.
41% :The organization added that teachers across Florida are "heartbroken" that they have to teach alternative courses approved by state officials because they avoid discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity.
38% : The College Board's Advanced Placement Psychology course was "effectively banned" by the Florida Department of Education, the organization said Thursday, citing recent laws passed to ban teaching "foundational content" about sexual orientation and gender identity.
35% : "We are sad to have learned that today the Florida Department of Education has effectively banned AP Psychology in the state by instructing Florida superintendents that teaching foundational content on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal under state law," the College Board wrote Thursday.
