College Board scraps question linking ‘female empowerment’ to low birth rates | The College Fix 08/15/2024

On X we exposed The College Board for equating low birth rates with female empowerment and using the power of AP testing and curriculum to push antifamily propaganda.

They just removed the question.🏆

Testing is never values neutral. We remain committed to our mission to reconnect knowledge and virtue by providing meaningful assessments that equip students academically and inspire them to seek Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.

College Board scraps question linking ‘female empowerment’ to low birth rates | The College Fix Question appeared in online practice quiz, never on ‘actual AP Exam’: spokesperson.

A school should educate children, not indoctrinate them.

The Story of the CLT

CLT was founded in 2015 by a team of educators, standardized test professionals, and individuals with diverse business experiences that sought to create a better way for students, families, and educators to display academic ability. Among standardized college entrance exams, the Classic Learning Test (CLT) provides the most accurate and rigorous measure of academic formation, accomplishment, and potential. The Classic Learning Test (CLT) invites students to wrestle with works of the greatest minds in history across literary and mathematical content. The rich material on the CLT is taken from our Author Bank. Learn more here.

As parents and secondary educators have become more aware of the CLT, they have been thrilled to finally have a rigorous academic standard to call their own. In addition to offering a standard with rich content, the CLT also offers a better student experience. The CLT offers access to millions of dollars in scholarships, an online testing platform, and same-day test results.

Colleges who partner with the CLT also benefit by an increased interaction with interested students through a simplified score submission platform. Students who take the CLT simply log into their account and submit their scores directly to the CLT-partnered colleges of their choosing.
