Student protests continue across Jefferson County, Colorado. In fact, now parents have joined in the protest. We're even making news across the pond.
In the midst of board members appearing on both local and national television to falsely and negligently accuse teachers of using students as pawns, the College Board, creator and administrator of the Advanced Placement US History course structure and test, has issued a statement in support of students and teachers.
If the Board chooses to "review" the AP Curriculum, the College Board will pull the AP designation from the course. No designation, no test, no college credit. If that's not a giant FU to the board, I don't know what is.
This board is not concerned with student success or quality of education. They are only concerned with their political agenda.
UPDATE: Board President Ken Witt's response:
(Apologies for the small, blurry pictures. I'm pulling these from Twitter.)
5:39 PM PT: Per Samer in the comments, you can take the test without taking the course. So, loss of designation will not prevent students from receiving credit.
