A conservative Oklahoma representative is reworking a bill targeting Advanced Placement U.S. history courses after coming under a firestorm of criticism.

Rep. Dan Fisher, R-El Reno, said Wednesday his bill, widely interpreted as seeking to do away with the courses, was poorly worded and is being rewritten.

“We’re trying to fix the bill,” Fisher said. “It was very poorly worded and was incredibly ambiguous, and we didn’t realize that, so it’s been misinterpreted. We’re going to clear it up so folks will know exactly what we’re trying to accomplish, and it’s not to hurt AP. We’re very supportive of the AP program.”

Republican House Floor Leader Jason Nelson said the rewritten bill will not call for elimination of AP history, but will merely ask the state Board of Education to conduct a review.
