The only way districts in Florida will be allowed to teach the Advanced Placement Psychology course is if they omit chapters on gender identity and sexuality. 

The College Board says it will not change the content of the course to suit the state’s Parental Rights in Education law, or the Florida Department of Education’s specifications.   

In a statement, the board said, "Our policy remains unchanged. Any course that censors required course content cannot be labeled AP or Advanced Placement, and the AP Psychology designation cannot be utilized on student transcripts."
