AFT’s Weingarten: DeSantis Is ‘Using Education Politically’

EXCERPT:

WEINGARTEN: "Yeah, I'm like, he knows better. The guy went to Ivy League institutions. He’s a aware. He knows better. He’s doing this just for political reasons. And, frankly, what’s happening is he should spend some time in his own state, where there are huge economic issues. But what’s going on now is that they’re, using education politically and taking away AP African-American studies from the kids who are taking it right then, almost taking away AP psych, which is the most popular AP course in Florida. It just makes their kids less competitive with other kids, but it also really hurts teaching and learning when you’re constantly questioning what you can say  or who you’re erasing or not erasing."
