Episode notes

I see the students as revolutionaries, especially if you look at the content that they are pushing out there. It's at a very high level. Even though your students weren't getting the college credit, they wanted to take this class. 100% correct. When you would sit with a young person and they would tell you, I really enjoy this. What would they say specifically? I would say the information that's contained that they had no concept of. The oldest continuous university, the University of Korean and Morocco, still open today.

The College Board piloted an AP course on African American Studies. Then, after conservative pushback, it debuted a revised curriculum. But the group insists it’s not caving to political pressure.

This episode was produced by Siona Peterous and Hady Mawajdeh, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and edited by Matt Collette and Noel King, who also hosted. We had help with today’s show from Sarah Darville, national managing editor for Chalkbeat.
