.AttorneyCrump says GovRonDeSantis needs to negotiate on AP course or face lawsuit
Civil rights lawyer Ben Crump and state officials held a press conference after announcing on Tuesday that he would be filing a lawsuit on behalf of three AP honors high school students against DeSantis and the state for banning the course.Crump said if DeSantis does not negotiate with the College Board, students Elijah Edwards, Victoria McQueen, and Juliette Heckman, will be lead plaintiffs in the"historic lawsuit.
Crump said the DeSantis administration's attempt to block the course is akin to communism that deals in"censorship of free thought."Edwards, a 10th grader from Sail High School, said he cannot believe that censorship of education still exists in 2023. Those joining the conference held signs that said"Black History Is American History" and"Stop The Black Attack." Several state representatives and senators spoke during the conference, calling out DeSantis for dictating whose story"does and doesn't belong."
State Sen. Shevrin Jones echoed Driskell's statements, saying that young people need to be exposed to diversity.
