PITTSBURGH (AP) - An internationally recognized educational curriculum has been eliminated by the school board in an affluent suburb despite an outcry from parents and students.
The Upper St. Clair school board voted 5-4 Monday to cut the International Baccalaureate Programme, whose curriculum some school board members have alleged is liberal and anti-American.
Others have questioned the need for the program, run by the Geneva-based International Baccalaureate Organization, saying it's too costly. The district has said it costs about $85,000 annually.
