Curing racial inequality by lowering standards and segregating by race. Problem is anyone can see this is really segregation by competency just so they can label the class “AP”, creating the illusion that a good percentage of the black students are AP level. By removing the Asians and whites from the bell curve, woke genius. When education fails lower the expectations, lower the standards, redefine what “AP” actually means and eliminate the competition.
A racist agenda by a racist school board. Yu can be sure they will try to force White students out one way or the other. The Left is Totalitarian.

Right on brother! Nothing like reenforcing old stereotypes.
Reinforce your spelling skills!
