Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration rejects African American AP course

This is a common tactic on the right. They have given up supporting racism directly but instead moved on to protecting institutional racism. That is to say, they claim the problem isn't racism, it's people pointing it out and trying to correct it. Their supposedly equal view is "we shouldn't see race". Of course since we actually do have institutional racism, anyone pointing to race as a factor of inequality or trying to combat it through education is explicitly "seeing race" and can be gone after as such.

It's part of a broader right pattern of, "it's not the crummy stuff that is a problem, it's the people that are pointing it out that are the problem."

DeSantis’s refusal to approve APAAS is entirely justified. Although the College Board has pointedly declined to release the APAAS curriculum, I obtained a copy and wrote about it in September. There I argued that APAAS proselytizes for a socialist transformation of the United States, that it directly runs afoul of new state laws barring CRT, and that to approve APAAS would be to gut those laws.
