The addition of the grades did not effect the outcome. <br /><br />The other things you mentioned about Mississippi’s racial history and the school not calling the other parents are the usual special pleadings that are the true “thumb on the scales”.

The optics don’t look good. It’s understandable for any parent to defend the academic integrity of their children, and it’s not uncommon for there to be disputes after valedictorians are named. But due to Mississippi’s long history with segregation (which still happens in some schools within the state) and other educational equity issues, it’s easy to see why it looks like these two white families are upset solely because their kids were bested by two Black students.<br /><br />2. The school district didn’t handle this situation well at all. Washington and Temple’s parents told the Times that they were not informed of the district’s decision ahead of graduation. In fact, Temple’s mother first learned of the decision after Berry’s mother posted a picture of her daughter and Borgioli on social media, which made the rounds.<br /><br />“They had no intention of telling us,” Lanika Temple, Layla’s mother, said. “They were just going to have us show up at graduation. If it was truly a mistake, you contact the students and the family. They didn’t have enough respect to tell us. I feel it was underhanded.”<br /><br />“I didn’t even get a courtesy call,” Ms. Washington said.<br /><br />It also did not help that the district allowed for two unrecorded grades of Berry’s to be added to her record after the deadline had passed, which the West Point branch of the NAACP told the Times isn’t a courtesy offered to all students.<br /><br />West Point Superintendent McDonald apologized during the school’s graduation ceremony.<br /><br />“Bottom line, school board, I apologize,” Mr. McDonald told the assembly. “You charged me with doing what I really believe is right by your students despite race, color, socioeconomic, whatever. God knows when I make a decision for kids, my heart is for kids and doing the right thing. So I ask you, please, for tonight, let’s make our graduates feel special.”<br /><br />The Washington and Temple families are considering a lawsuit, the Times reports."<br /><br />---------------------<br /><br />Somerby likes to put his thumbs on the scale by leaving out details that are important to a story, to tilt it his direction. This is dirty pool. That doesn't stop him from complaining when he thinks others are doing the same thing. Like everyone else in the world, Somerby has an agenda that is worth considering whenever you read his so-called media analysis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-50627657733931654052021-06-14T17:03:01.318-04:002021-06-14T17:03:01.318-04:00"How can anyone really understand unless they..."How can anyone really understand unless they had experienced it first-hand?"<br /><br />Easily, dear mh. <br /><br />To tell you the truth, we can even understand phony drama-queen liberals, but only occasionally.

The horror of such enslavement as it was practiced earlier in our nation's history?<br /><br />For whom would that be hard at all, let alone impossible”<br /><br />Umm...Donald J Trump, sociopath (TM, TDH)?<br /><br />This is Somerby at his densest. <br /><br />Go up to a survivor of a natural disaster, or of the Holocaust, or a brutal attack, and tell them you “understand” what they went through. How can anyone really understand unless they had experienced it first-hand? One can attempt to empathize, but never truly know the experience. It is presumptuous to pretend otherwise. <br /><br />No one alive today was a slave in the Old South, so no, no one can really know what it was like. If anyone cared to ask former slaves years ago what it was like, perhaps that is preserved in books somewhere, if anyone cared to know. <br /><br />And that is the reason we read and study history. How else can we know what it was really like? Learning about that cotton sack that Somerby mocks is part of the process by which everyone attempts to understand what the lives of slaves were like. That is why we watch Eyes on the Prize or 12 Years a Slave, as difficult as that was to watch. Think how much more difficult it must have been to experience that. <br /><br />And if we’re all as empathetic as Somerby pretends, why study history at all, except to learn names and dates? We need to hear and see the stories of real people, otherwise I’m not sure most of us would have a clue about the lives of others. The more we learn about others’ experiences, the more we can empathize. mhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937133532381705347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-92155304221756007852021-06-14T16:42:12.160-04:002021-06-14T16:42:12.160-04:00Wait, didn't GOP politicians propose that each...Wait, didn't GOP politicians propose that each first grader would be offered the right to carry and target practice training?Gloucon Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05218027862578514587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-21329445442552538682021-06-14T16:36:51.236-04:002021-06-14T16:36:51.236-04:00No Mao, I trust the Murdoch family to comb the web...No Mao, I trust the Murdoch family to comb the web for what is important and put it on Fox.
