Florida officials tell state schools to teach AP Psychology 'in its entirety' after College Board said the state had effectively banned the course.
According to College Board, the AP course asks students to "describe how sex and gender influence socialization and other aspects of development." College Board said that sexual orientation and gender have been an element of the coursework since the AP course was launched 30 years ago.
However, the College Board said that without this required course content, the course cannot be labeled "AP" or "Advanced Placement" and the "AP Psychology" designation can't be used on school transcripts.
