The Florida Department of Education said an Advanced Placement African American Studies course proposed by the College Board has been denied approval.

On the College Board's website, a description of the course said it planned to introduce high school students to African American studies and include teachings on literature, geography and other fields.

"Drawing from the expertise and experience of college faculty and teachers across the country, the course is designed to offer high school students an evidence-based introduction to African American studies," the description read. "The interdisciplinary course reaches into a variety of fields — literature, the arts and humanities, political science, geography, and science — to explore the vital contributions and experiences of African Americans."

In their letter to the College Board, the Florida Department of Education said, "As presented, the content of this course is inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value."
