Just moments after Florida public school superintendents cancelled upcoming AP Psychology classes for violating state law, Education Commissioner Manny Diaz says no you can teach it, with one catch; it has to be “age appropriate.”
Age appropriateness is not normally a prerequisite for college courses because they’re…college courses. But welcome to the free state of Florida where it seems everything is now subject to someone’s vague subjective opinion of what is “appropriate.”
Districts canceled the courses after receiving guidance yesterday that because the curriculum including discussion on sexual orientation and gender identity, it violated Florida’s “don’t say gay” bill which prohibits such discussions through the 12th grade.
In fact, teachers who violate this law can be held criminally liable.
