Looks like the College Board caved to DeSantis objections with their updated framework. They took out the sections from the 2022 course design that were felt to constitute CRT indoctrination:
The topics that raised the concerns of the DeSantis administration were intersectionality and activism, Black queer studies, Movements for Black Lives, Black feminist literary thought, reparations, and Black study and Black struggle in the 21st century. Many of the objections were tied to the inclusion of texts from modern Black thought leaders and history teachers, whose writings the DeSantis administration believes violate state laws. Black Lives Matter, the Movement of Black Lives or the case for reparations were not included in the official course framework released on Wednesday. None of the authors listed as concerning by Florida education officials are included in the required readings of the final framework. The reparations debate, “gay life and expression in Black communities,” and Black Lives Matter are only included in a list of examples of the topics that students can pick for research projects. “These topics are not a required part of the course framework that is formally adopted by states and that defines the exam. This list is a partial one for illustrative purposes and can be refined by states and districts,” the College Board said in the framework.
So, now, there is a course that is an actual history course and less of an indoctrination. The country has Florida to thank for this.

Sounds to me as though you now have in Florida a supposedly college level introductory class in African American studies that effectively suppresses reference to influential African American thinkers post circa 1980. Of course, why would anyone, in an African American studies curriculum or other contexts, need any exposure to "those people" and their ideas anyway? Much too dangerous for society.
In a similar vein, I saw that New College is now the focus of a conservative take-over that DeSantis has orchestrated by packing the board of trustees with hard-right conservatives, with summary firing of the president and other major changes coming. The idea is to remake New College into a sort of publicly-funded iteration of Hillsdale College.

Florida didn't make the changes. The College Board did who runs AP testing for the entire country. They took out of the required curriculum controversial opinion pieces that were not rooted in fact. History courses should be based in fact not indoctrination. Students are free to do their own research to ideas that interest them, but it should not be required reading. I was simply quoting from the article on the CNN website.
We should not be indoctrinating students with ideas like white people are inherently racist any more than we should be indoctrinating them with eugenicists beliefs, like those of PP founder Margaret Sanger that blacks are an inferior race, or anti-semitic views held by Hitler and members of the squad that Jews are a race-tuberculosis of the peoples.
“We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” - Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger
Also, it should include the fact that Africans sold other Africans, but that never will be talked about
If it is never talked about, how did you hear about it?
It's never talked about in your dogma. The truth can always be found if you're willing to look outside of the bubble. Unfortunately, most leftists would never look outside of the bubble.
A Maryland school district teaches a plan linked to Black Lives Matter that plants are oppressed and prompts students to identify "the places where they enjoy privilege."
Footage of the stomach-churning assault shows two boys wildly pummeling the third grader at Coconut Palm K-8 Academy in Homestead as she desperately tries to fend off the blows.
It would still be an issue if people taught themselves because it really self-empowerment which is threatening even if it's to benefit your individual self and is your right, to know about your God fame self !
If anyone wants to learn about how Fox News successfully uses a repeated formula of Agitprop I invite you to read the article a couple of posts before me on Maryland "speciesism".
Here is Fox's formula: They have paid staff constantly scan the country and even globe to find any type of story that they know will feed the base and their grievances. it doesn't really need to be a story per se. It could simply be one word. Or one sentence in a worksheet in a school somewhere in some rural school in California. Any type of left wing overreach is awesome. Then they create a digital story around that one sentence. IN this story they make sure they pepper in some favorite dog whistle code words that get their base riled up even more. Like "reported to have connections to Black lives matter". Others are CRT, Open borders, globalism. The story also need an agitprop click bait title. Then they put it on the web to see if it gets legs.
If it starts to get hits, then the fox news talkers (Tucker, Hannity, Ingrahm) start talking about it. Then it will be picked up by the entire right wing ecosystem. Once that happens Tucker and pals start saying... "the main street media refuses to cover this". or "why is the main street media not covering this?" This guilt trip causes main street media to cover it and then this agitprop has legs. They don't care whatsoever if the story is entirely debunked at this time. It is out there and it is real in the minds of their viewers. Now grandma and grandpa are talking about it at church. Let's run has a huge thread with 50 pages of left vs right bickering. This is how many of the culture war baiting issues have come to be common topics that politicians use daily. When you know the formula they use you are not duped anymore. But it is sad to see people manipulated by it.
