College Board rejects Florida's request to ‘audit, modify’ AP courses on gender identity, sexual orientation

The College Board released a statement on Thursday revealing it rejected the Florida Department of Education's [DOE] request to modify "gender identity and sexual orientation" content in an Advanced Placement [AP] Psychology course.

Educators have been raising questions on how the Advanced Placement Program would respond to Florida's education law, according to the statement.

The College Board explained further in their statement that the Florida Department of Education Office of Articulation "recently requested" that they "audit and potentially modify AP courses relative to the new Florida laws that restrict classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity."
