Join the movement to amplify Asian voices, challenge harmful stereotypes, and foster a more inclusive society. Your involvement can make a difference in promoting understanding and unity among diverse communities.
This AP class isnt just a great way to make classes more diverse, but they also give students who are Asian a greater chance to learn more about their own histories, which honestly is more difficult than you would think to do on your own. This is a really great way to help the greater population and increase awareness, especially considering our current political climate!
To simply have the OPTION to take this class and have it available is so powerful and empowering to our community that is too often overlooked in the classroom.
