No AP Physchology Classes in Florida

Thousands of Florida students were already signed up for this class this fall and counting on getting some college credit for the class.  But apparently even 16-19 year olds are too young to learn that homosexuality and transgenderism exist.

Well that's dumb. Even from my side of the aisle it would be a mental health issue and certainly something that could should be taught in a psychology class. If we're trying to keep people from drastically altering themselves then we should at least be doing the proper study to understand the psychology behind it if we were to try and have people accept the way they were born.
