Florida Reverses Ban on Teaching Gender Identity in AP Psychology After Backlash

Florida officials initially banned AP Psychology over content on gender identity and sexual orientation, per the state's "Don't Say Gay" law.
The College Board refused to alter the course and advised Florida districts not to offer AP Psychology.
The ban disrupted college plans for thousands of students and faced criticism from LGBTQ groups and psychologists.
Florida's education department later clarified AP Psychology could be taught in full, despite the "Don't Say Gay" law.
The reversal came after protests, cancellations of the course, and pressure on the state to resolve confusion over the ban.
