I bet her having a baby out of wedlock was the main reason the school board did this in the first place. Her being black though makes it racial, and I guarantee you, whatever grief the school gave her, she is going to get her college PAID for after this suit is said and done. I am traveling through Arkansas right now, and their local radio news is trying to spin this in a positive light. They say that there were “multiple factors” that go into picking the valedictorian, which sounds pretty shady. I really wonder how the school thought it would be such a good idea to pull something like this in Pine Bluff, which is something like 70% black. Foresee a great deal of firings and forced retirements in their future.
Now this type of stuff pisses me off. Especially since my family is from there. It’s always racial in Arkansas.
Don’t kid yourself, it’s racial and sexist. Not one or the other. They covered several types and kinds of discrimination in one leap.
Fantastic. Stay class, America.
haha, oh god, this racism is killin me inside…
Welcome to USA nigga…
I am not claiming that race was not a factor, but I would not be surprised if a white single mother faced similar discrimination in the south from uppity conservatives. I was denied a position helping struggling grade-school students for not being a member of a church at my public high school. I am also NOT condoning what was done, I bet these same people who are demonizing her for having a child out of wedlock are pro-life.
Sorry dog, she too busy making me that lemon meringue pie wearing nothing but a apron to notice.
lol people say this like 2011 actually means something. What the fuck happened in 2011?
LMFAO @ that name. Kimberly Wimberly GET THE FUCK OUT
anyway, i agree with the decision. if not because of that name, then because I don’t think a black girl should be the representative of a school of rednecks
^right, black people dont belong in there
Ark is redneck
also: this has to do with religion somehow
edit: nice Fishjie, knew i coukld count on you
Nigga who taught you octagon?!
Where does it say she can’t be valedictorian…
Any evidence besides the mothers word?
I see a lot of according to the complaint…and co valedictorian…
We can let the south secede. Michelle Bachman can be their president, she can fill her cabinet positions with like-minded candidates, and the remaining United States can watch as the new Confederacy lapses into Jim Crow laws, witchcraft trials, bloodletting, etc.
I give them 50 years before they’ve completely regressed into the Paleolithic Age. We can put it on YouTube. It’ll be hilarious.
Oh come on not all southerners are rednecks!
I do agree this is some fucked up shit yo
Fucking Americans!
how bout just Arkansas bro
I don’t think it’s entirely racial. There was another school some 6 or so years ago that kinda did the same thing to a girl who wanted to be homecoming queen. The chick in question was white, and had also been knocked up. Turns out that kind of thing is a figurative black eye, and isn’t something a school wants to be known for. Schools just don’t like preggers.
Dude this school could have one of the biggest fucking “THERE’S HOPE FOR YOU DUMBFUCKS!” stories in academic history. A girl has a baby in school, and then proceeds to dust the rest of her class? Hollywood Oscar winning drama potential, and she black? Fuck Precious man.
Instead now they’ll just be known for teaching the chick who will write a book on how the Arkansas Education system is full of a bunch of shortsighted pricks.
whites worst nightmare—blacks and mexicans getting smart.
what magical world do you live in? i wanna live there.
In the year 2011?
