  They’re specifically trying to whitewash Black history though.
context: Get on it California and blue states. 
  “We will not offer these watered down exams.”
  Don’t let Florida and Texas lead the way with their terrible educational standards. >
  
  They should also go as far to not accept credits for these studies in states that have stripped away the content like that. >
  
  It's becoming more and more common for colleges not to accept AP credits for major-required classes anyway. >
  
  Even when I was in college 20 years ago (wow I feel old) I mainly just got units for AP credits, but otherwise all it did was allow me to skip a level in a calc class (anybody could skip by taking a test).
  It did allow me to be the laziest college student and take under the unit minimum 3 times while still graduating in 4 years. I learned the hack is to enroll in enough classes, then drop a class after they check unit minimum but before the drop deadline. >

  This should be the standard anyway for colleges. They provide a test, students either pass or don't pass. 
  That way even if your school doesn't offer AP in a course, you can study up and get your own credits. >
  
  The college I went to did that for foreign languages, but I think that was all. >
  
  Mine did it for foreign languages and math. Foreign language is actually really easy to test, because there's international standards for ranking capabilities. >
  
  I knew people who deliberately bombed language exams so they could go into the beginner stream rather than the advanced stream. It made no difference to the number of units they were taking or the duration of their time studying, it just made their study load easier. That is until they generally shot themselves in the foot by being way too fluent or speaking/writing with regional idioms they couldn’t have learned in the standard language classes i.e. slipping in Milanese phrases with a lecturer/tutor from Milan or dropping Lebanese phrasings in an Arabic class. 
  It doesn’t really change that there should be the option to skip ahead for those who want it, it was just funny watching people fuck up when they thought they’d found a way to make their life easier. >
  
  Yeah I studied french and german in college, spent a year in germany, and coming back had more trouble in my german classes because I wasn't doing things the academically correct way anymore. >
  
  On the first day of Black History Month, the GOP gets it’s wish of watered down American history. >
  
  They’re really trying to erase all history and replace it with propaganda so kids will stop asking why their quality of life is comparably worse than the generation before them and accept fascism as a way of life.
