• The American Psychological Association is calling for a “systemic change in U.S. culture,” and in part, is blaming the issue on capitalism.
• Several students believe the APA should stick to psychology and not take stances against capitalism.

The American Psychological Association is in the spotlight following the publication of a statement against “systemic” racism in U.S culture.

The APA is “the leading scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States, with more than 121,000 researchers, educators, clinicians, consultants and students as its members,” according to its website.

The statement called for “true systemic change in the U.S. Culture,” blaming the issues of the U.S. partially on capitalism.
