“As a proactive measure…a complete and independent review [will be] conducted on all of the Memphis Police Department’s specialized units,” Davis said. An unspecified number of the officers who stopped Nichols were from the SCORPION unit, attorney Ben Crump said Monday.

A basic fact about Florida's ban on AP African American Studies: since the creation of the Advanced Placement program in 1952, no state has ever refused to certify an AP course until now. No state has put politics ahead of its students' access to early college credit until now.
