"DeSantis has not made clear exactly what he plans to change, "
"While DeSantis acknowledged the College Board’s long-standing presence in the state, he said “there are probably other vendors who may be able to do that job as good or maybe even a lot better.”
So, the Tampa Bay Times is psychic. The misleading title is on them.
He's already pressured the Board to change the content...and now he's threatening to pull the program completely
“Nobody elected (the College Board) to anything,” DeSantis said during an appearance to talk about "woke" banking practices. “They’re just … providing services, and so you can either utilize those services or not. They have provided these AP courses for a long time, but … there are probably some other vendors who may be able to do that job as good or maybe even a lot better.”
Which is debatably not true
What's the significance of Advanced Placement courses?
No one entity offers an alternative to the powerful combination of the College Board's coursework, testing and scholarships.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of high schoolers across the U.S. take AP courses to get college credit as well as a boost on their college applications.
The rest is on you for not reading the damn article or lying.
So DeSantis threatens to drop the program and find another vendor
Lies about existence of other organizations who could administer the same
And your conclusion is that I'm lying? SMH
Let me remind you what this discussion was about
Orangeclad claimed it was "stupid" to pull AP courses based on one's personal ideology
That's EXACTLY what DeSantis has done and is threatening to do more of
DeSantis clearly has beef with the company.
As does what you describe as "woke" administrators...
So the "woke" are stupid & racist for pulling AP courses but DeSantis isn't for threatening to do the same thing?
We're already behind the rest of the first world in education, only a complete moron would ditch AP completely.
Then why is DeSantis threatening to do just that?
At best education lists are hardly scientific but we use what we've got

No. 1: United States
The U.S. repeats as the No. 1 best country for education in 2022. The public education system in the country is funded largely through state and local taxes, with students required to begin compulsory education as young as age 5 and progress through at least age 16,
depending on the state.
Of the 2.7 million U.S. students ages 16 to 24 who graduated from high school between January and October of 2021, nearly 62% were enrolled in a college or university in October of 2021, according to the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The U.S. is home to eight of the top 10
Best Global Universities, according to U.S. News.
U.S. students had
above-average scores in reading and science on the OECD’s
2018 Program for International Student Assessment, but scored below the OECD average in math.

Plus, someone had to administer the SAT or did you gloss over that too?
What the hell does DeSantis pulling AP courses have to do with administering the SAT?
There are high schools that don't offer AP courses...Are you claiming they don't have access to the SAT?
You are so bad at this and you should feel bad.
Please refute something I posted
