A large crowd gathers in the Florida State Capitol fourth-floor rotunda in Tallahassee, Florida for the"Stop the Black Attack" rally on Jan. 25, 2023. Attorney Ben Crump threatened to file a lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, his administration and the ban of a proposed Advanced Placement course on African America Studies in Florida high schools on behalf of three Leon County, Florida, school students.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks after being sworn in to his second term at an inauguration ceremony outside the Old Capitol in Tallahassee on Jan. 3, 2023. “This course on Black history,” he told reporters, “what one of the lessons about? Queer theory. Now, who would say that’s an important part of Black history, queer theory? That is somebody pushing an agenda on our kids.”
That’s when two prominent Democratic governors who, like DeSantis, are often mentioned as hopefuls for the 2024 presidential race, stepped in and suggested DeSantis should butt out. Neither version of the AP African American Studies curriculum mentioned critical race theory, which has become a trigger word for the political right, mostly for reasons as detached from reality as a QAnon theory. Professor Crenshaw is not mentioned, although some of her theories are.
