In the North Little Rock and Jacksonville North Pulaski school districts, officials announced that the course would count as a "local elective" instead.

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.

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 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.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts thanked Congress for passing a judicial security bill, but made no mention of many major decisions including the overruling of Roe v. Wade.

The events of Little Rock teach about the importance of rule by law instead of by mob,” the chief justice wrote, concluding a historical essay on a seminal episode during the civil-rights era, the 1957-58 term when Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus defied court orders to desegregate Little Rock Central High School.

Indeed, we judges frequently dissent — sometimes strongly — from our colleagues’ opinions, and we explain why in public writings about the cases before us,” Roberts wrote.
