TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Civil rights attorney Ben Crump said Wednesday he would sue Gov. Ron DeSantis if he doesn’t allow Florida high school students to take a new AP African American Studies course that the governor contends promotes woke ideology and critical race theory.
Crump, best known as the lawyer for Black victims of police violence including the family of George Floyd, said he would take legal action if DeSantis and the Florida Department of Education don’t reach an agreement with the College Board to offer the Advanced Placement course.
“Gov. DeSantis is going to get a lesson of his own today,” Crump warned.
