The Arkansas Education Department abruptly removed course credit for an Advanced Placement African American Studies course, just months after Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed bills limiting what educators can teach in public schools.

    I like the spirit, but that seems like it’d just fracture the country further and keep Alabama Arkansas high school students trapped in Alabama Arkansas, which is exactly what the old assholes making these decisions want

    Instead, there should be a criminal charges and a civil lawsuit from the federal government for violating these kids civil rights to a real education, and the offenders should be deemed likely witness intimidators and jailed pre-trial.

    e; man, if Alaska starts up with nonsense like this I’m going to be hopelessly confused

      Your spirit is there, but you have the wrong A state. It’s Arkansas pulling this crap, not Alabama.

        The idea is the same. I’d bet it won’t be long before Alabama pulls this crap too.

      Yep. We had to do it ~60 years ago when the federal government forcibly integrated public schools, and let me just tell you, people were not happy.
