Desantis Rejects AP African American Studies Course - Bethune Cookman Cuts Ties With Ed Reed As Football Coach | ITBP S7E1

In The Black Podcast

In this week’s episode the fellas tackle the recent decision from the Florida Department of Education, and Governor Ron DeSantis to reject the framework for an AP African American studies course for High Schools. The Administration in their rejection stated that the course “As presented, the content of this course is inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.” The backlash has been swift, and with limited clarification from the Governor. For many this is just another example of DeSantis’ attack on “Woke Culture”. We also discuss the decision from Bethune Cookman University to part ways with their prospective football head-coach, Ed Reed. This comes after Reed released multiple videos on Instagram attacking the schools lack of resources and the growing rift between him and the administration. Is Reed being punished for telling the truth? Or was he out of line? And Lastly we tackle the murder of Tyre Nichols at the hands of five Black Memphis police officers. What does this mean for the city of Memphis? We discuss all that and much more. Informed. Intelligent. In The Black!
