ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida will not allow public school students to take Advanced Placement psychology because the course includes lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity, topics forbidden by the state, the College Board said Thursday. That could mean that a week before school starts in many districts, about 5,000 Central Florida students and about 27,000 statewide may not be able to take a class they signed up to tackle in the 2023-24 school year.
How fucking grim is it to read "topics forbidden by the state"
Brought to you by the party of freedom and small government.
I'm amazed at how many snowflakes are able to survive in the Florida heat.
How does any of this not violate the first amendment?
On what basis would it?
Surely the government is allowed to teach what courses are run in government run schools by government employees in general. I mean, someone has to, and who else would it be?
Or if you're referring to the religion aspect of the first amendment... this seems religiously neutral?
The constitution doesn't ban bad governance, just some particularly easy to enumerate forms of it.
Florida does forbid teachers from discussing certain topics. That's a 1A issue if letting coaches pray on football fields is.
Every day I become more and more glad I chose to stay north for grad school. My condolences to those who are there and trying to get out :(
