These classes designed for college credit for high school seniors and juniors provide a foundational discussion of these topics. A person's sexual and gender identity has profound effects on their psychological health. Removal of units to satisfy the state would result in the class no longer being accredited for college credit.
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.

so you say "effectively resulted in the banning of AP Psychology"....is that actually the case? Was the class banned? Are they prevented from taking the AP exam?
Or are we getting upset about a couple paragraphs that may not be in the curriculum anymore?
Ok i just read the actual release. No classes have been banned....quite the opposite....it's the organization recommending to schools to not carry the class. Totally different than what you're trying to sell here.
"Classes have been banned!!! But we told them to do it so it's DeSantis' fault!"
Give me a break. :)

In Seminole County in order to prevent Bobby from calling himself Susie and vice versa, permission slips are now required for use of ANY nickname. Legal names only, so Bobby goes back to being Robert and Susie is Susan.
Shoot I know of a few kids who wouldn't recognize their legal names, they've been called by their nicknames for their entire lives
This sounds like an unnecessary overreaction by this school district.
