QuoteBut the district plans to file a motion to dismiss the "frivolous" suit, according to a statement from Jacks.

"The district has a racially neutral policy regarding the valedictorian honor. The policy is when there is a grade point average tie between two or more students, the students share the valedictorian honor," the statement said.

"In this case, the district followed its policy. The students involved had identical grade point averages and shared the valedictorian honor," it said.

If this part is true, then.....

But knowing white people, it probably ain't.

I don't know which side to believe in this
if they JUST desegregated schools I can see some sneaky stuff happening
but these lies in the report "embarrassment, loss of opportunities, humiliation!"
if this woman don't stop :dead:

I don't really understand the story. What are her grounds for suing?
