The College Boards may withdraw AP credit from schools pushing this CRT crap. My oldest two children each had 24+ hours of AP credit. My oldest ended graduating with three majors and my middle child went through college in three years

The College Board seemed to weigh in last week on the flux of state legislatures that have considered restricting the teaching of certain topics in response to the debate about "critical race theory" in public schools.

The board's position is especially noteworthy in Indiana, because House Speaker Todd Huston suddenly left his high-paying job at the institution while supporting Indiana's own CRT-inspired legislation.

The College Board's Advanced Placement Program said that it will remove the AP designation from courses when required topics are banned, a move that would jeopardize the ability of high school students to earn college credit for success in those courses.

The AP Program, which enables students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school, issued a “Dear Colleague” letter Wednesday in response, it said, to hearing from AP teachers across the country who are concerned about the integrity of their classrooms.

1. I thought C.R.T. was only taught on college level.

Wasn't that the argument against the anti-C.R.T. right wingers when the controversy bean?

2. I believe that CRT itself is only taught at college levels, but things like

slavery being the cause of the Civil War or historical information about such things as Jim Crow or lynchings have been pulled under the umbrella of CRT. It's all mirrors and slights of hand. I have to admit the Repugs are good at this, but when you're making things up it's a lot easier.
