Fairfax County Public Schools’ Online Campus is removing an AP Government test question that equated liberals and conservatives with specific racial and gender demographics.
The multiple-choice question asked students, “Which of the following is an accurate comparison of liberals versus conservatives?”
The potential answers for “liberals” included “Young, white males;” “Middle-aged, urban lesbian;” “College-educated black male professional” and “White, upper-middle-class suburban male.” The potential answers for “conservatives” included “East Coast, Ivy League educated scientists;” “Southern male migrant laborer;” “Catholic, midwestern middle-aged male” and “West coast, Hispanic teacher. ”
