"To be clear, any AP Psychology course taught in Florida will violate either Florida law or college requirements," the organization said in a statement posted on its website on Thursday. "Therefore, we advise Florida districts not to offer AP Psychology until Florida reverses their decision and allows parents and students to choose to take the full course." "We encourage the College Board to stop playing games with Florida students and continue to offer the course and allow teachers to operate accordingly." Palelis did not immediately respond to a question about whether the state had advised superintendents that the course violated state law. Discussions between the state and College Board about the psychology course began in May, a letter from Florida posted by the College Board on its website showed.
