Georgia Restores Funding for AP American Studies After Legal Clarification

Superintendent Richard Woods reverses decision following Attorney General's opinion on divisive concepts law exemption.

The AP African American Studies course will be included in Georgia's state-funded course catalog immediately.
Attorney General Chris Carr clarified that the divisive concepts law does not apply to AP, IB, or dual enrollment courses.
School districts must ensure courses are taught professionally and without espousing personal political beliefs.
The decision follows backlash from educators, students, and lawmakers over the initial funding withdrawal.
A disclaimer will be added to all AP courses, stating they are not reviewed or approved by the Georgia Department of Education.
