If an institution as risk-averse as the College Board feels compelled to do this, there should be no doubt amongst “moderates” that there is a fascist threat to independent academia at work under DeSantis.

The real question is whether the college board will stick to their guns, refuse to change the curriculum and force Florida to deal with the fact that any kids that take its mandatorily-white-washed AP African American Studies curriculum will fail the AP exam, and fail to receive college credit, as they’ve been bared from receiving a college-level education in the subject.

Ya know, I just did SACS assessment stuff at my university.
Maybe threaten if they threaten to take away accreditation (and by extension, sportsball), THAT will get the good citizens of the state to stop the bull shit.

I’m pretty sure that if all the colleges in Florida lose accreditation, the teachers leave, the students wander off, the libraries burn, and the dorms taken over by snowbirds, there will still be sportsball played, paid for by alumni who only ever fund sportsball, and watched by sportsball fans everywhere on their dedicated sportsball streams.

Can the board just remove accreditation? Or is that just for colleges?

As a University of Florida alum (who was never really into the sportsball)…
When I was attending, the most we were worried about was hanging chads.
