President-Elect Joe Biden, November 7, 2020

​

Should college-bound high school students have the option of taking AP Systemic Racism for college credit as part of the national effort to “root out systemic racism in this country?”

Allies for AP Systemic Racism

 

The change we wish to see:

 

College-bound high school students have the option of taking a college-level class for college credit that provides them knowledge about systemic racism and skills for creating anti-racist environments on elite college campuses.

 

When: Sometime during the third decade of the 21st Century.

 

High school students preparing to apply to elite colleges and universities have the option of taking a class where they:

  • Gain an awareness that systemic racism impacts some of their future classmates and their families;

  • Acknowledge skills people of color use to successfully navigate systemic racism in this country;

  • Develop skills to help create an anti-racist environment on elite college campuses;

  • Develop skills to help create an anti-racist environment in the workplace and within organizations and institutions;

  • Analyze policies that might help root out systemic racism.
