Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Good for them
Edit: them being the college board
What exactly is good about this? It’s a psychology course. You don’t think that gender and sexuality are included in psychology?
Edit- retracted after op edit
That is in fact what I was saying. I had hoped my username would convey my position on lgbt people sufficiently. Sorry for any misconceptions.
Your username definitely threw me off
Their username is literally "captainlezbian", I guess it could sarcastic though
That the college board refused to cave. I think it’s a dangerous precedent if they had.
My bad, totally misunderstood.
You wouldn't ban the teaching of material science to a future civil engineer.
You wouldn't ban the teaching of chemistry to a future pharmacist.
You wouldn't ban the teaching of aerodynamic sciences to a future car designer.
Why would you ban the teaching of gender identity and sexuality to a future psychologist if it's a core piece of knowledge required to excel at their profession?
Yeah you really shouldn’t. Hence good for the college board for not caving to the demands to erase the hard fought acknowledgement of people like myself’s experiences
Probably because the people behind these changes by-and-large don't believe psychologists are needed. If you have any problems you should consult your pastor or something.
Pray the cray away?
If you have any problems you're a useful scapegoat. They don't want to give that up.
