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.
Got that right...here at work, I do marketing...and whenever we choose a photo for one of our brochures, they don’t want white men in them.
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.
Who are they?
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
Most likely white men... (Who have created an exemption for their children)
Only if the person in the brochure/commercial is a fumbling idiot.... use the white man for that.
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.
Manager and divorced female co-workers.
Only if it excludes Whites.
Here's what it says:

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.
schools give the scholarships to minorities as well in academics and sports. They get the vast majority of them and come to school with the lowest grades.
I understand that. The problem is that principals are being told that if a black kid with good PSAT scores is not taking an AP class, he should be encouraged to do so. But if a white kid with the same PSAT scores is not enrolled in an AP class, the principal need not do anything. This differential treatment is discriminatory and racist.
It would be interesting to learn where they got the idea to exclude white men. I don't mean through the usual osmosis from Oprah and the rest of the anti-white male popular culture. Was it official training like the Associated Press Stylebook? I'm curious because the bias is so wide spread through out all forms of media that seems like it has to come from some form of formal dictates.
