Jonathan Chait continues to pursue his white whale, Ron DeSantis, for having the temerity to stand in the way of Donald Trump winning another presidential nomination. DeSantis’s Florida Department of Education recently informed the College Board that the FDOE was rejecting a proposed AP African-American Studies course. As Stanley Kurtz has detailed here and here, this has been something of a cat-and-mouse game played by the College Board, which has refused to permit public inspection of the curriculum. Chait, however, blames DeSantis for the College Board’s reticence, arguing that FDOE’s decision must be “inexplicable” because it had not responded to Chait’s email and had not published a copy of the curriculum that the College Board refuses to provide. Chait says that, “without having seen the course, it’s impossible to tell . . . But needless to say, there’s no reason to take Stanley Kurtz or DeSantis’s state government at face value.” Notably, he does not indicate whether he tried to get the curriculum from the College Board, or what response he received.
