re: AP & Honors classes to be partly decided by skin color, not intelligence?

Todd Starnes, bless his heart, is just dumb and easily fooled.

AP classes are, in most places, ELECTIVES these days. I taught AP classes for 35 years and taught prospective and experienced AP teachers in summer institutes for the College Board (and still do). Some districts may well be trying to get more minorities to ELECT AP classes which is a good goal. I'm willing to bet that no district is trying to enforce quotas on AP classes.

At this point I have no idea whether this story is true or not, but what you wrote is the dumbest, most asinine thing I read in the entire thread.

OF COURSE AP classes are electives. But electives doesn't just mean you sign up and you're in. The school still must consider things like class size and certainly also considers things like grades I mean a C math student isn't going to get into an honors calculus class for example, so obviously they could also consider race when deciding who gets into an elective.
