DeSantis Stirs Pot Over AP Black History Course

The February 2023 issue of Campus Report covers the DeSantis-College Board controversy, the impact of ChatGPT on education, the GWU mascot name change, and the state of education today. Governor DeSantis’s rejection of the AP Black History course for its inclusion of “queer theory” and “neo-Marxism” sparked a national debate and prompted the College Board to revise the curriculum. The report explores the potential of AI tools like ChatGPT to revolutionize or disrupt education. The renaming of the George Washington University mascot is criticized as a politically correct overreach, while the AIA chairman laments the increasing politicization and complexity of education.
