AP African American studies canceled by Arkansas officials just before school begins

Source: ABC News

The Arkansas Department of Education has removed the AP African American Studies course from its schools in what the state's professional organization of educators called a “last-minute” decision.

The Arkansas Education Association told ABC News the move came "at 4:02 on Friday before schools start on the following Monday."

"Having this course pulled out from under our students at this late juncture is just another racist move that has already played out in other states," the organization said.

It continued, "It is our sincere hope that this last-minute decision will be seriously reconsidered in a timely manner so that the students of Arkansas will be able to take this course this year to be able to receive both high school credit and college credit pending successful completion."
