Florida Unleashes Conservative History Curriculum Focused On “FACTs”

Today on AOTA Shorts: Gov. Ron Desantis is at it again, ensuring his state continues to lead the way on the most draconian and fascist education policies on the books. Florida has now unleashed its new suite of accelerated courses known as FACT - Florida Advanced Courses and Tests. The US History course aspires to challenge the College Board’s AP US History course, by pushing a decidedly biased curriculum, rooted in fundamental lies and mythology about America. American exceptionalism, seeing things like slavery and indigenous genocide and displacement as “aberrations from an otherwise admirable story,” and advocating students read the bible to understand the Christian roots of the Puritans are the tip of the iceberg. We’ve reached this point in the descent of American public education, where they’re creating their own advanced courses for white supremacist, christian nationalist, patriachal, imperialist propaganda. Yikes. Manuel and Jeff discuss!
