The AP African American Studies course has drawn fire from some Republicans calling it an example of 'woke-ism' infiltrating education. But students in the course say it shouldn't be considered controversial.
The questions started as soon as the last students trickled into Donald Singleton's first period Advanced Placement African American Studies class on a recent morning. For nearly two hours, Singleton, who has taught at Susan Miller Dorsey Senior High School in Los Angeles for 26 years, challenged his students on their own perceptions of history.'What have you learned?' he asked the class.
And they wonder, 'Wow, I never learned this in any of my other classes.''Singleton denies that the course indoctrinates his students.'I inculcate my kids with the idea that you're just as beautiful, just as brilliant, as anyone else,' he said. 'That's my job every day.'He embraced the idea that he was empowering his students, and drew parallels to teaching bedrock American texts.
