    A friend shared this post on #LinkedIn. It's about how the l Young #Women's #STEAM Research & Preparatory Academy (YWA) in #ElPaso, #Texas has "an introductory-to-advanced sequence of [#computerScience] classes," and how they earned the #CollegeBoard’s #AP #CS Female #Diversity #Award. I shared this on LinkedIn.

    As a #Texan, I'm proud that we are preparing Texas #students for careers in #technology.

    For years, Texas government has been working to attract tech companies to come to Texas. The idea being to create tech #jobs in our state.

    This can only work if Texas has educated workers who can fill those roles. If there aren't enough tech workers in Texas, those jobs will be filled by #immigrants from #SiliconValley, the #PacificNorthwest, or even other nations. Which defeats the purpose of bringing those jobs here.

    Many people think that #AI is going to take all the tech jobs. This is not a reasonable expectation because AI cannot innovate. AI cannot be trained on ideas that don't exist, which means that it can only remix existing ideas. AI can only think inside the box.

    This is why technology education is so important. Innovation depends on thinking outside the box. And, for the foreseeable future, this requires a human mind.

  7. The #CollegeBoard, a powerful nonprofit, has been waging war w/ the administration of Gov Ron #DeSantis, a #Republican, since earlier this year when his admin rejected the College Board’s new #AfricanAmericanStudies course. The #curriculum included topics such as “#QueerStudies,” #reparations & the #BlackLivesMatter movement, & the admin objected, citing a #FloridaLaw limiting how #racism & other aspects of #history are taught in #PublicSchool.

  12. Under an expanded #Florida rule, instruction on #GenderIdentity & #SexualOrientation is now restricted in most cases through 12th grade. The #FloridaDepartmentOfEducation had asked the #CollegeBoard & other providers of advanced, college-level courses to search their offerings for potential violations.

    But the College Board said that it would not modify its content, & that any course that did not address gender & sexual orientation should not be labeled “#AdvancedPlacement.”

  17. Supplicants to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis no longer: the #CollegeBoard announces it will revise the #AdvancedPlacement #AP course in African-American history. The board had tried to make the class more palatable to critics like DeSantis but faced the ire of scholars. #education nytimes.com/2023/04/24/us/ap-a

  22. While written in couched terms, the #CollegeBoard’s statement appeared to acknowledge that in its quest to offer the course to as many students as possible — including those in conservative states — it watered down key concepts.

  23. The #CollegeBoard said on Mon that it would revise its #AP African American studies course, < 3 mos after releasing it to a barrage of criticism from scholars, who accused the board of omitting key concepts & bending to political pressure from Gov Ron #DeSantis, who had said he would not approve the curriculum in FL.

  24. It’s remarkable to read the #CollegeBoard’s statement about their interactions with #Florida’s Department of #Education. Definitely read the whole thing, but here’s just one quote:

    “We have made the mistake of treating FDOE with the courtesy we always accord to an education agency, but they have instead exploited this courtesy for their political agenda.”

    I’m glad to see some pushback against #DeSantis.

  25. @edutooters @edutooter #CollegeBoard makes business decisions. The calculation they cynically made, most likely, is that the disruption they are seeing now is a fraction of what they'd have seen if they stayed the course on #APAfricanAmericanStudies.

  26. Why are we surprised that #CollegeBoard caved to pressure over #APAfricanAmericanStudies? We aren't talking about what's right or wrong. We're talking about money and influence in the world of #school to come, after the last two bricks of the noble and progressive vision of American public #education have been dismantled, and the enterprise finally murdered. Sharks will always swim to where the blood is. @edutooters @edutooter

  27. Kimberlé #Crenshaw – the scholar who gave us #intersectionality – discusses the recent decision by the #CollegeBoard to water down its #AP African American studies coursework following attacks by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

    She argues that the College Board's watering down of African American studies is actually proof of critical race theory in action.

    "Contemporary aspects of the past that continue to shape the life chances of African Americans cannot be taught if they hurt some feelings or they make people feel bad,” she says.

    #Censoring information that challenges the mythical retelling of the past is a hallmark of @authoritarian-leaning regimes.
