The Arkansas Education Department abruptly removed course credit for an Advanced Placement African American Studies course, just months after Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed bills limiting what educators can teach in public schools.

      I like the spirit, but that seems like it’d just fracture the country further and keep Alabama high school students trapped in Alabama, which is exactly what the old assholes making these decisions want

      Instead, there should be a criminal charges and a civil lawsuit from the federal government for violating these kids civil rights to a real education, and the offenders should be deemed likely witness intimidators and jailed pre-trial.

        Your spirit is there, but you have the wrong A state. It’s Arkansas pulling this crap, not Alabama.

        Yep. We had to do it ~60 years ago when the federal government forcibly integrated public schools, and let me just tell you, people were not happy.

      They don’t need to stop recognizing deplomas from there. All they need to do is maintain appropriate application standards and the fully indoctrinated will weed themselves out.
