This doesn't say it's classes for minorities only...

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.

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.
