Two members of the Little Rock Nine criticized a state decision regarding an AP African American Studies course. In the North Little Rock and Jacksonville North Pulaski school districts, officials announced that the course would count as a "local elective" instead. In interviews with NBC News, Little Rock Nine members Elizabeth Eckford and Terrence Roberts spoke out against the state's actions. The AP African American Studies course was offered by Central High during the previous school year, and it will also be an option for students during the new school year. Huckabee Sanders, who was elected to the governorship last November after serving as White House press secretary under then-President Donald Trump from 2017 to 2019, is also a graduate of Central High.

The same legislation weakened teachers’ tenure protections, which has raised the stakes in the confrontation with the state over African American studies. African American Studies will allow students to explore the complexities, contributions and narratives that have shaped the African American experience throughout history, including Central High School’s integral connection,” the district said. African American studies is a rigorous, fact-based class protected under the law, and not an example of ideology or opinion. Huckabee Sanders pointed out that the state already offered an African American history course and that the A.P. African American studies and were planning a joint response.

African American Studies has had a tumultuous journey since its official rollout in February, when it emerged that the College Board had revised the course’s content. African American studies is interdisciplinary, encompassing concepts from history, sociology, politics, legal studies, arts and culture. But the College Board removed or watered down key subjects and concepts from the course framework, such as critical race theory and mass incarceration. The College Board said it “rejects the notion that the A.P. African American studies course is indoctrination in any form.” And it pointed out that more than 200 colleges have already agreed to provide credit for the class, including the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, the state’s flagship public postsecondary institution.
