Petition for CollegeBoard's APUSH Curriculum
Collegeboard's Advanced Placement US History Course Standards fail to cover the injustices Black, BIPOC adequately, and marginalized communities have faced/are facing in America. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, and as such, shedding light on historical and current oppression is now more critical than ever.
Please sign the petition at tinyurl.com/apushwhitewashing. Our team will be contacting Collgeboard soon, and the support would really help. It's time to call on Collegeboard to take action towards a more just and equitable curriculum.
