New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced Tuesday that the state is expanding its Advanced Placement African American Studies classes. Details: The AP class will go from being taught at one New Jersey high school to 26 during the 2023-2024 academic year.
What they're saying:
"As governors like Florida’s Ron DeSantis prioritize political culture wars ahead of academic success, New Jersey will proudly teach our kids that Black History is American History," Murphy said in a statement. "While the DeSantis Administration stated that AP African American Studies ‘significantly lacks educational value’, New Jersey will stand on the side of teaching our full history," he added.
