It’s not about education but diversity, infiltration. And just what is Advanced Placement anyway? Some sort of feel good stuff?
Advanced Placement consists of collegiate-level classes in the sciences, math, and social sciences for high school students to take. While I disagree with affirmative action and agree there is an ambition gap for many students, I support AP classes because they do help more ambitious students out in areas that have a low budget for their wider curriculum. I would not have gotten my two-year degree nearly as quickly if I hadn’t slaved away at those classes in high school and earned AP credits in the core curriculum.
