Ten Montgomery County, Maryland, public schools are expected to pilot the Advanced Placement African American studies course next year, and Superintendent Monifa McKnight said she’s a proponent of the class. A school system spokeswoman said MCPS is still finalizing the list of schools offering the course, but the College Board invited 10 high schools to participate. In an interview with WTOP, McKnight said she’s “a big proponent of African American studies being supported and in our schools and in our school systems.”
