Georgia educators and critics are outraged after the state’s decision to eliminate an AP African American studies class from high schools just days before the start of the school year. The course, which would have allowed students to earn college credit, was abruptly pulled by the Georgia Department of Education, citing the conclusion of a pilot program and Superintendent Richard Woods’ decision not to recommend its continuation. Critics argue the move reflects political motivations against diversity-driven curricula, with opponents decrying the removal as erasing African American heritage from the state’s educational framework.
