Ron DeSantis was so bothered by the mere IDEA of AP African American Studies in 2023 that Florida created a "competitor" to College Board's Advanced Placement, and they've just released their course framework for U.S. History. It's....not good. Historians are chiming in, and Lydia's here to break it down: why does Florida have this, what does it actually do for students and teachers, what's in this framework and how does it compare to APUSH, and just how much indoctrination is Florida attempting to accomplish.

• AP US History Framework (effective Fall 2026)

• Florida House Bill 1537 (2023)
