Scary that this is where we are. Stay safe out there, folx. And to my admissions leaders, please check in on your queer staff. Many are stuggling. – at Chicago, IL

Thread: Hey, everyone: This is pretty big. The Daily Caller (ugh) has memos from the Florida DOE suggesting they were influencing @CollegeBoard on the AP African-American Studies curriculum as early as January 2022, and at the very minimum, July 2022.
