We ask that you:

- Is this an automated message? I simply updated recent statistics on the article and added citations. WashedFootballer (talk) 06:15, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- Oh actually I see what this is regarding, was removing that section not valid considering the issue was just a misunderstanding? When I go to the first citation for it, it says that there was simply an issue in the wording of course selection and that they updated it. WashedFootballer (talk) 06:17, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I posted the conflict of interest guidance because your edit summary said
when looking at the primary source ETHS noted that the wording was an error
- do you work for or represent the school? Thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 16:46, 11 October 2024 (UTC)- No, I was talking about how on the first citation for that claim, it is stated in an update that the wording was an error:
Update, 3:35 p.m. ET: Evanston Township High School told The Spectator that while it is “proud” of its work increasing access to Advanced Placement math classes for “Black” and “Latinx” students, they do not “restrict” classes to students based on their identity. The high school acknowledged that language in its online course listings was not accurate.
“We do not have (and never have had) a process that restricts students from taking AP classes based on race. No ETHS student is restricted from taking an AP class based on identity or is required to take any class based on identity,” ETHS said in a statement.
— https://thespectator.com/topic/illinois-high-school-offers-racially-segregated-math-classes-evanston-township/- I thought the section in the article is not correct as ETHS does not offer classes that are "restricted to students who identify as Latinx or Black" Is there a reason that it should stay included?
