An "identity-based approach" is meant to encourage minority
participation. Three-quarters of white students take AP courses but
fewer than a third of Black and Latine students do.

So blacks and hispanics get to be racist segregationists now? Brilliant!
How would you address the problem of minority students intimidated by
white microaggression?

Sounds exactly how they used to try to justify school segregation.

Here's some reality for you. It's not the white kids harassing 'em
for doing their homework and getting some good grades.
There's real aggression in schools and it's not hidden nor micro. And
FYI, you couldn't just sign up for an AP class. You had to qualify
by doing well in the prereq classes and then you could sign up.
I don't think there is a large pool of qualified kids.
Bottom line...woke liberal wimp lax discipline lost control of many
public schools and they pull this kind of BS to cover it up.

While the “acting white” theory used to be pretty popular to bring up in debates about black academic achievement there’s a catch: It’s not true.
At best, it's a very creative interpretation of inadequate research and anecdotal evidence. At worst, it's a messy attempt to transform the near-universal stigma attached to adolescent nerdiness into an
indictment of black culture, while often ignoring the systemic
inequality that contributes to the country's racial achievement gap.
End quote.
Many, many cites in there.

This guy trashes the existing research and then equates popularity to
a measure of non-peer pressure. I will tell you now that no kid is going to count the kid who slaps him around in the hallway for acing a test as a "friend".
This shit isn't new and I witnessed it regularly when I was in HS.
Here's my anecdotal story. Wendell, the black classroom gangster who was always in
a fight with someone was caught cheating off Phil (also black) during a test in
Print Shop. Obviously not an AP class but a Vocational Ed.
Both were being punished and getting a zero, I spoke up as I sat right behind 'em
and just said Phil didn't do anything.
What did I get for sticking up for Phil? Phil tries to slice my face open with his 1" finger nails.
I had to flee the classroom. Later I see Phil who wasn't a big tough kid like Wendell
and asked him WTF dude? He said, sorry but Wendell will kill me if I didn't go down with him.
I guarantee Wendell isn't on anyone's "friend list" in some BS popularity survey.
This has nothing to do with who has the most friends.
And friends don't save you when the beating comes. They'll show up to watch it.

We never had that level for AP classes when I was in HS. But not relevant.
It's not the white kids trashing other white kids for doing well.

Kids need to feel safe from "peers" who will threaten and intimidate them

Nothing makes nerds safer than teacher standing up for them.
