Notable civil rights attorney Ben Crump sets out to file a lawsuit against Florida governor Ron DeSantis after the state rebuffs the proposal of the Advanced Placement (AP) African American Studies course pilot program. Crump is expected to publicly announce the lawsuit at a conference at the Florida Capitol in Tallahassee Wednesday afternoon.
Polarization surrounding Black studies heightens as DeSantis’ “Stop WOKE” Act strikes down the course which he says promotes a political agenda emphasizing that “we want education, not indoctrination.”
Florida Senator Manny Diaz Jr. echoing the sentiments of Governor DeSantis says it was “filled with Critical Race Theory and other obvious violations of Florida law.”
“We proudly require the teaching of African American history,” Senator Diaz Jr. said in a tweet on Friday. “We do not accept woke indoctrination masquerading as education.”
