Virginia Gov. Youngkin Orders Education Secretary to Review 'AP African American Studies' Course

The state will now join Arkansas, Mississippi, and North Dakota in reviews of the course material after it was banned in Florida.

“After numerous reports about draft course content, the governor asked the Education Secretariat to review the College Board’s proposed AP African American Studies course as it pertains to Executive Order 1,” a spokesperson for Governor Youngkin said in a statement obtained by Fox News.

The course originally contained lessons on Black Lives Matter and suggested readings from Kimberlé Crenshaw, the author of “Critical Race theory: The Key Writings That Formed the Movement,” but was revised and they were removed on February 1.
