A brand-new AP African American Studies course ignited political fireworks in Florida, which banned it this past weekend. Conservative critics called it “woke indoctrination.” But in New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy is not just praising the new curriculum, he’s promoting it.

Murphy made that clear during a visit to Newark’s Science Park High School on Tuesday. Joined by Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, the governor visited a history class at the school, where he announced that New Jersey will increase the number of schools teaching AP African American Studies from just one currently — Union County Vo-Tech — to 27 in the next academic year. It’s the second year of a pilot project for the new course.
