From NPR:
"It's clear that Fl. Gov. DeSantis has been using Black students as political pawns in his quest to build power and conservative outrage, and the Florida State Board of Education (SBE) has long enabled him," the petition reads. 
The president of another labor union, the American Federation of Teachers, also publicly denounced the Florida decision. 
"AP courses are a pathway to help build critical thinking skills – to learn new information and apply it to life," the union's president, Randi Weingarten, tweeted. "How can Gov DeSantis erase all of Black history?"
