The nationwide organisation that oversees advanced placement high school courses says the state of Florida has “effectively banned” its psychology coursework, days before thousands of students enrolled in the classes begin the 2023-2024 school year.
State education officials have instructed school superintendents that teaching elements of the course regarding sexual orientation and gender identity are illegal under state law, according to a statement from the College Board. School districts are free to teach AP Psychology coursework only if it excludes any mention of such issues, according to the College Board.
