OKLAHOMA (KFOR) – Last year, Oklahoma lawmakers were able to repeal Common Core. Now, some of those same legislators are targeting Advanced Placement courses.
The measure, called HB 1380, is working its way through the Capitol. If passed, it would prohibit the use of state funds for AP U.S. history courses.
The proposal requests the State Department of Education to find a new U.S. history program in lieu of the AP U.S. history course.
AP classes are a nationally recognized series of courses that allow high school students the opportunity to earn college credit.
The classes aren’t required for graduation, and schools are not required to offer them.
Lawmakers argue that AP courses are similar to Common Core, and they violate legislation since Common Core was repealed last year.
