The College Board seemed to weigh in last week on the flux of state legislatures that have considered restricting the teaching of certain topics in response to the debate about "critical race theory" in public schools.

The board's position is especially noteworthy in Indiana, because House Speaker Todd Huston suddenly left his high-paying job at the institution while supporting Indiana's own CRT-inspired legislation.

The College Board's Advanced Placement Program said that it will remove the AP designation from courses when required topics are banned, a move that would jeopardize the ability of high school students to earn college credit for success in those courses.

The AP Program, which enables students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school, issued a “Dear Colleague” letter Wednesday in response, it said, to hearing from AP teachers across the country who are concerned about the integrity of their classrooms.
