From WSJopinion: The best way to address the AP program’s achievement gap would be to direct help at struggling students. Instead, the program has decided to lower its standards, writes jasonrileywsj.
The College Board declined to release a sample syllabus of the new course but did allow on its website that students will “look at the history, politics, culture, and economics of North American people of African descent.” It also explained that students will “examine the hardships African-Americans faced during their history” and “dive into the difficult issues, such as unequal educational opportunities, they deal with today.
We shouldn’t be surprised that these developments have coincided with the ascendance of the progressive left. In the late 1960s, under similar pressure from liberal radicals in general and black separatists in particular, the first black-studies programs began appearing on college campuses, and higher education has never been the same. Like the AP program today, colleges were acting out of expediency.
