Segregation is good, now.
Illegal and unconstitutional.
White guilty liberals love this kind of racism.
I’d say it’s more a marketing tool than an instrument of discrimination. Get more kids to take the test!
It would be an instrument of discrimination if there was an “AP-Black” exam with easier questions that had to be accepted as equal to the regular exam score.
Well...having someone “sit” in an AP class doesn’t actually make them any smarter than if they were sitting in a main stream class — Not any more than if I sat in my garage will make me a Chevy.
You sort of have to actually do the “F’n” work that the teacher gives you no matter what classroom you are sitting in, jeeezus.
Where do these idiots come from?!?
I thought this was satire..I can’t believe it’s not.
Here in New York State, the advantages given to minority students (but not Asians) is ready huge. The biggest is a public-private initiative to give FREE college tuition to any school to which a “city” kid is accepted.
Wow, I did not know I was committed to that. You learn something every day.
>>>>>"ensure that 100 percent of African American, Latino, and Native American students">>>>>
What about Asians? Harumph!/em
School districts often receive MORE money when they can show increased numbers of students taking the SAT and AP exams. I know that our local high school has ESOL students who often barely speak any english, take the SAT’s lol So by the same logic, more AP students = more AP class funding.
Here's what it says:
By registering below, you pledge to review the master schedule at your school or in your district to ensure that 100 percent of African American, Latino, and Native American students with AP Potential™ are enrolled in courses in the 2014-15 school year.
Seems like they want to make sure those with AP potential are signed up for AP classes... Now all they have to do is help the kids get over the "being smart is acting white" stigma that is prevalent.
Too bad whitey! You fend for yourselves!
Remember when liberals thought quotas were bad?
I suspect these classes will be easier than normal classes in other schools.
After all, it’s a business and non-Asian minorities aren’t scoring high enough to merit college admission. They gots ta do good or the AP/SAT tests will be banned.
“AP Potential”???? Really??? If you don’t want to take an AP class why should anyone put pressure on you? This silly notion that ‘only’ in AP classes will you learn anything useful is pushed by those who are clearly clueless.
I believe this is contrary to the U.S. Constitution.
“Check the minority box, and get one extra AP point.”
(I can’t wait to get surgery from and fly on airliners designed by affirmative action hires.)
what could possibly be racist about that???
This isn’t NASCAR. People aren’t equal.
so if they fail, the scores can be cured.
this is like when they lower admission standards.
