NPOV dispute edit

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I believe large parts of this article violate Wikipedia's policies on NPOV.

First of all, large parts of the article state opinion as facts. "Packer's leadership has focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion" is an opinion, not a fact. The claim that Packer is responsible for "Hispanic/Latino students are now the largest population of AP students in states such as California and Texas" is an opinion, not a fact. The claim that Packer is responsible for "nearly one in every four (24%) AP students comes from a low-income household" is an opinion, not a fact. "As a result, AP Biology teachers were delighted" is an opinion, not a fact and is a completely unverifiable claim. There are far more examples like this in the article, which I believe the other editors will be able to find.

Secondly, the article structure gives undue weight to the Washington Post article while segregating any controversies to other sections. The Washington Post did not call Trevor responsible for making the AP program the most powerful educational tool in the country, the education columnist Jay Mathews did. As well, the Washington Post article and the College Board are generally reliable, but they are in no way neutral sources, and any opinions they provided should not be taken as fact.
