This is another example of what I mean when I say you should not be as concerned about Nazis and fascists, as you are about the white folk you have around you when the Nazis and fascists show up. DeSantis says European history is OK for Florida students, but Black history is verboten, and this is the response? To neuter the course until it's acceptable to racists?
The college board's crime is greater than DeSantis'. A racist system cannot effectively educate Black kids.
But that's the opposite of his position.
Whether a person agrees with the argument or not, his stances is that some of the material in the course is obscuring Black history by spending course time and resources focusing on other issues like LGBTQ+ interests. He has pushed the College Board to revise the course to focus more solidly on the history of Black communities in the US.
You might reply that LGBTQ+ is part of Black history, and that's fair, but it's important to recognize that DeSantis is actually arguing. Not against Black history but against a course that he believes is insufficiently focused on exactly that.
