TAMPA, Fla. — The national nonprofit that runs Advanced Placement classes has declined to alter its popular psychology course to meet Florida’s restrictions on teaching about gender identity and sexual orientation.
The Department of Education asked the College Board in May to consider modifying the material to ensure compliance with the State Board of Education’s new rule prohibiting instruction on those topics at all grade levels, unless it is expressly required in approved standards.
On Thursday, the College Board informed the department in a letter that it wouldn’t be making any changes.
