I can't see behind the pay wall, so I don't know if they've explained in any detail what the curriculum entailed, but I can certainly imagine a version of an AP African American History class that is more concerned about ideology and presenting questionable moral propositions as undeniable than about historical fact. I can also envision a perfectly benign, reasonable version of such a curriculum that nonetheless challenges students to think about the legacies of systemic racism that persist to this day. Without more information I have no idea who's wrong. I mean it's pretty easy to see "DeSantis" in the headline and make an educated guess about who the a-hole is, but given that there's no indication he was directly involved...
