Adhering to Florida's laws would leave students ill-equipped for college, educators say.
College Board, the group that regulates advanced placement courses that prepare high schoolers for college, says new state laws in Florida that govern gender curriculum have"effectively banned AP Psychology in the state."
The College Board says these concepts have been parts of the AP Psychology curriculum for 30 years, and it says it will not alter its defined curriculum to adhere to laws that"would censor college-level standards for credit, placement, and career readiness."
