  1.  @Goodhello369  What do you know about CRT? Did you ever see, much less read, Kimberle Crenshaw's 1988 article in the Harvard Law Review? If there is an 18-year-old somewhere equipped to read that article and pass an AP exam for college credit, then God bless them, don't hold them back. This is an elective -- you get that part, right?

  2.  @willis7404  None of these people know what AP is, or what the College Board is. We have never reached square one with this, to even frame the issue correctly. These are NOT required classes. They are not part of the high school curriculum at all. They are purely electives.

  3. AP is an elective; all of those subjects are among the top choices for an AP class.

  4.  @Goodhello369  Wrong about what? That AP is purely an elective, not a required class? That a private non-profit entity, namely the College Board, sets the standard for the course? That no one is ever required to take such a class for high school graduation? That if an AP class does lead to actual college credit, then it is legitimate -- and if it doesn't, then it is misleading the students who elect to take it? Or that a seminal article was written well over a generation ago, before this became the bruhaha and political grift that it now is? No, all that stuff is true. Oh, wait. You're telling me that there are public school teachers who don't know any of this, and haven't read these authors, and are just spouting propaganda they are told to spout, and taking home a paycheck? That such teachers actually exist? In 2023? I'm shocked, I tell you! Shocked, shocked!!

  5.  @Goodhello369  A sting, huh? How do you know that PhD wasn't a false flag? That could pay more than most of the jobs he might get. Did anyone question him later? You are too gullible. What do you mean by neo CRT? What is that? And what does that have to do with an AP class, where the curriculum must be published for all parents to see?

  6.  @Goodhello369  Just read about it. Bottom line, anything can be relabeled, just like in false advertising or counterfeit goods. Parents have to review the actual materials and ask to see what their child will be given in school in order to know what is actually being taught. However, what Bostic was involved in is elementary school curricula, which is where the laws against CRT are stringent. This has no bearing at all on elective AP classes in senior high school, except insofar as parents should always ask to review the required reading. Texts should be available to them to look over, during board meetings, parent-teacher night, parent-teacher open house, PTA meetings, etc. I'm all for it. None of it should be hidden or mislabeled. And AP should be accepted for actual college credit, as promised, or it's not real. My position from the start. The one good thing about classes from home via Zoom is that more parents found out what was going on.

  7.  @Goodhello369  CRT has no place at that age. Anyone who thinks that's a joke should be fired.

  8. What do you know about it? Have you read anything by Kimberle Crenshaw?

  9. The AP program is purely elective, and designed for earning college credits while still in high school. It is never a required subject for a diploma. It isn't the job of a governor to censor such a program, offered by the College Board, which is a private entity. A governor should just make sure that there really are colleges that accept the AP class, so that the kids who take it and pass it actually get the college credits, as promised. If few or no colleges accept the AP class for credit, then get rid of it. It's bogus. Too bad this is never explained. Hmm . . . I wonder how come? 🤨

  10.  @Goodhello369  I mentioned the seminal article. If you didn't recognize that, then you don't have the knowledge about CRT that you claim to have. It wasn't name-dropping! I honestly thought you were less ignorant than you are. ("Infusing a Harvard mention?" Infusing? Is that how you try to Sound Smart?)

  11.  @Goodhello369  Thanks. I'll be sure to look this up. You could have made an informative post in the first place, frankly. Now I actually want to know what happened and what he said. I'll search it now, in fact.

  12.  @willis7404  MOST AP classes that lead to college credit are math, science, and similar subjects.

  13. Why doesn't janibeg look up their website and see what AP courses are available for college credit?

  14.  @janibeg3247  They still have the Advanced Placement program, which allows kids who are academically advanced to demonstrate that they have mastered certain 100-level college courses, and to obtain credit. Have you checked on what a state school costs, and how much a kid can save by obtaining advanced placement credits? Most people don't go to "elite" colleges, or have the kind of MONEY the parents of Harvard, Stanford, Yale, etc., students have. Most universities still require or accept SAT scores, and most kids take them.

  15.  @janibeg3247  So you didn't or couldn't find their website to see what AP exams they offer for college credit?

  16. Because you don't know what AP classes are . . . so this sounds good to you.
