It is the duty of school officials to maintain civility among the students. When districts aren't already segregated by state leadership, that means cultivating a certain degree of egalitarianism and inter-racial tolerance among the student body. Similarly, teachers and admins have a duty to discourage bullying and guaranteeing students an opportunity to participate in school life without fear. That gives students the freedom to interact without fear.
To a student at the high school baseline. Not a student who has been taking AP classes since junior year. This isn't just a question of meeting the minimum standard. High Schools - particularly well-funded and expertly administered schools - offer a wealth of college-level class opportunities at the high school level. And holding kids back from these schools means denying them access to a wealth of professional education and advanced tools.
Yes, it was cool to grow up in the early '00s and have a relatively reliable and robust online free-at-point-of-access reference library. Its a shame we're dissolving these resources and gatekeeping them behind paywalls, as well fill up the basic search tools with bullshit and FUD.
