As the 2018-2019 school year has come to a conclusion, the Cupertino High School administration has made some changes to the AP program to 'increase the number of students succeeding in the AP science programs.' What they have actually done is cause the resignation of our AP Physics C teacher, Mr. Williams and demoted Mr. DeMuth, one of our two beloved AP Chemistry teachers. Now, only two AP science teachers have over a year of teaching experience in a purposely cut-down curriculum to increase the number of As in each class. However, this is not only unfair to AP science students who have previously taken the course, it weakens the understanding of current students in their respective courses as well as worsens their ability to prepare and score well on AP tests. Though the name of the petition is called 'We Demand DeMuth,' our ultimate goal is to keep our AP science teachers and rigorous AP science classes the same. Conclusively, we, the students, urge you to sign this petition to force the administration to consider the viewpoints and requests of AP science students and teachers for the following 2019-2020 school year.

To support the student body even more, join the Facebook group, 'We Demand DeMuth' to be a part of our final online protest in which we will send out an email to the administration (Mr. Wright, Ms. Armstrong, Ms. Salazar, Mr. Walzack, etc.) every day at 3:25pm stating our demands until we receive a response. Joining the Facebook group is crucial for our protest to work!!
