A new Advanced Placement course in African American Studies in Georgia has been deemed not in violation of the state's law against teaching divisive racial concepts. The state's attorney general clarified that the law exempts AP and similar college-level courses taught to high school students. This determination came in response to a letter from a state representative who authored the 2022 measure.
Georgia's Superintendent of Schools had initially refused to recommend the course for approval by the state Board of Education, citing concerns about its compliance with the law. However, following the attorney general's clarification, there is hope that the course will receive the necessary recommendation.
