Florida "effectively banned" Advanced Placement Psychology classes in the state due to the course's content on sexual orientation and gender identity, the College Board said Thursday.
The state's Department of Education informed the College Board that “teaching foundational content on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal under state law," the higher education nonprofit said in a statement. Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act, or what critics have dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" law, restricts the instruction of sexual orientation and gender identity in the state's classrooms.
“The state’s ban of this content removes choice from parents and students,” the College Board said in a statement. “Coming just days from the start of school, it derails the college readiness and affordability plans of tens of thousands of Florida students currently registered for AP Psychology, one of the most popular AP classes in the state.“

Banning things, including books, videos, and courses merely make banned things all the more alluring.
Banning things cause people to get hold of them, investigate them, and try them out.
Kinda like when God told Adam and (St)eve to not eat of that banned fruit.
What did they do?
You got it.
They ate it!
