[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the current trend was to abolish all AP courses in public schools as such courses discriminate against URM?[/quote]

Yup.

Except this course was developed to promote racism and hate and "progressive" politics so it was an exception to the rule.[/quote]

How?  By teaching about African history— in African and the diaspora? By teaching about black artists, scientists, musicians?  By reading Toni Morrison? Even discussing the concept of reparations has merit if your goal is to create a critical thinker who can explain the pros and cons.

The Tulsa Race Massacre, the Tuskegee experiments , the Tuskegee airmen, the Harlem Renaissance, the fact that some slave owners were Black, the history of Africa and Africans selling their own people into slavery— these are some of the topics covered. I didn’t learn about any of these in school. Did you?[/quote]

blahblahblahblah it is obvious you have not looked at this course.

Please do.[/quote]

Except I have.  What have you been looking at?[/quote]

Fox "News"[/quote]

Same old tired line. Do better. [/quote]
