from an earlier article linked by that piece;

Discussions between the state and College Board about the psychology course began in May, a letter from Florida posted by the College Board on its website showed.

In the letter, the state reminded the organization about its new law banning instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in all but health courses from which parents can opt out of sending their children. … [they] asked the College Board to audit its course material and modify any content that did not comply with state law or rules set by the state board of education.

it sounds like they’re trying to scare the ap program(s) into compliance without ordering them to do so; because ordering them would trigger a lawsuit ( which desantis and co might lose. )

they’re getting what they want regardless, because some number of students don’t want to risk losing the credits they’re about to sink their time into:

The College Board’s popular AP courses help high school students gain college credits. Brandon Taylor Charpied said his daughter, who goes to school in a suburb of Jacksonville, planned to take an AP Psychology course but recently changed her mind after “rumblings” about the rift between Florida and the College Board.

I doubt it. They are too busy wringing their hands about the current state of the nation - for which they are largely responsible.
