Read: Dr. John Thornton discusses Florida’s rejection of AP African American Studies Course
Dr. John Thornton‘s opinion piece, POV: Florida Rejects AP African American Studies Course—Who Pays the Price?, was recently published in BU Today. The initial curriculum of the AP African American Studies course, which is a college-level course taught to high school students for college credit, included many of the topics included in our Program’s courses, including reparations, queer theory, critical race theory, and intersectionality.
“The state of Florida has decided that it’s good politics to cripple students by denying them access to the full richness and complexity of America.”
Dr. Thornton is a professor of African American & Black Diaspora Studies and History at BU. Read the opinion piece on BU Today’s website.
