Racist School

[McConnaughay]

Kymberly Wimberly was all set to become her Arkansas school’s first black valedictorian since 1989.



But, at the last minute, McGehee High School decided Kymberly was to share her spotlight with a white “co-valedictorian” who had a lower GPA.



“When I found out I was valedictorian, I was ecstatic,” Kymberly, who has long dreamt of being at the top of her class, told ABC News. She says the student named co-valedictorian agreed with her that “if the tables were turned, there wouldn’t be a co-valedictorian.”



Kymberly’s mom, Molly Bratton, who is the school’s “certified media specialist,” says she overheard school personnel expressing concern that naming Kymberly valedictorian would cause a “big mess.” Furthermore, when Bratton tried to protest the school’s move at a school board meeting, she was told she couldn’t speak because she had “filled out the wrong form” and would have to wait until after graduation to appeal.



Kymberly and Bratton have filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the school, seeking punitive damages and a revision of the school records naming Kymberly the sole valedictorian.

I've said that I hate whenever I turn on the news and see somebody saying that they were mistreated strictly because they're black and then whenever you read the case, the justification existed. But that's not one of these story, instead it's a school of racist bastards bastarding it up with their racism and I hope the school loses this case strictly for their bastardism.

This is totally unacceptable conduct by this school and they should

be held accountable for it. What kind of example is this to set the kids ! ?

Those responsible should be sacked.

Oh... isn't that nice...

Can they actually do that?

How ironic that their attempts to avoid a big mess will actually ensure there is a big mess for them to deal with.



I love for them to attempt to illustrate how this decision had nothing to do with race. That should be rather amusing to say the least. Well on the bright side, she can sue their asses and collect a nice check for their stupidity.

I really can't see what 'big mess' should be created by awarding

the honour to the pupil who earned and deserved it, colour should

not be the issue here.



I notice too that it was a 'last minute' decision to make Kymberly 'share'

her spotlight - that effectively ensures that it can't be challenged 'before'

the event. Very sly.
