This seems a very odd argument.

It's not the point of a curriculum to address the needs of TASP attendees or those who can learn on their own. My S learned Calc BC on his own. Does it mean that Calc BC should not be taught in high school?
There are plenty of profs who don't think that Calc BC is the equivalent of an intro Calc course in college and even demand that students who scored 5s on the exam take the intro Calc class anyway. Does this mean then that AP-Calc should not be taught because it's not rigorous enough by college standards? One can say the same of most AP courses, too.
