White House finds latest GovRonDeSantis education move 'incomprehensible'
The White House issued another strong criticism of Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday, saying his blocking of AP African American Studies is"incomprehensible."
"It is incomprehensible to see that this ban, or this block, to be more specific, that DeSantis has put forward," she said."If you think about the study of black Americans, that is what he wants to block. These types of actions aren't new, especially from Florida, sadly." "Florida currently bans teachers from talking about who they are and who they love," she said."We've talked about it many times here in this briefing room. They have banned more books in schools and libraries than almost every other state in the country."
"If the course comes into compliance and incorporates historically accurate content, the Department will reopen the discussion," Florida Education Department press secretary Cassie Palelis said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
