Florida Colleges Drop AP Psychology as Chilling Effect from Draconian Censorship Law Takes Hold
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many colleges in Florida say they are dropping their AP psychology
course due to Florida law, which bans discussions on gender, sexual
orientation and gender identity. Earlier this month, Florida backtracked
on a directive effectively banning AP psychology, but educators fear the
repercussions of teaching the course since it would be all but
impossible to do so without violating the anti-LGBTQIA so-called "Don't
Say Gay" law.
