Dear AP - The Edward Said question on this years AP test

Dear AP,

I suspect you will be getting many complaints about the Edward Said question on this years AP test as there are harassment campaigns being launched to punish you for daring to print the word Palestinian.

The transition from the Zionist rally cry of "There is no such thing as a Palestinian" into a more enlightened and compassionate era is bound to be difficult. I very much hope that your best students, regardless of supposed race or religion, were able to rise to the occasion- able to concentrate on writing a great essay.... it really was a perfect question.

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
