Arkansas schools will teach AP African American Studies despite state's objections

Arkansas rejected the course as the school year began, saying it wouldn't count for credit toward graduation and the course was a form of indoctrination.

AP African American Studies will be taught after all at the six schools in Arkansas that planned to offer it until state officials said last week students taking the course wouldn’t earn high school credit for it and raised concerns about whether it’s a form of “indoctrination.”
