Interesting. Henry County is just SE of Atlanta. Stockbridge is close enough to ATL to be considered a driving suburb. McDonough is a bit more SE and pretty good sized. Rest is rural S GA.
This young lady knows she is fighting the racism of low expectations for young blacks. Good for her.
I say give all minorities straight “A” while holding white students to higher standards.
Once out of school which group would you guess will be more successful in life.
As someone once said it is soft racism to assume blacks are not able to learn as well as white. They are not doing anyone any favors by letting them drift through school.

Yeah, shocking!
This is typical practice in the corrupt NYC schools. Teachers were routinely pressured/threatened to pass students who hadn’t even attended the class. Principals and department chairman got thousands of dollars in bonuses for good passing statistics and they weren’t going to let a little thing like integrity get in their way.
“...an assistant principal wrote a note to her telling her not to give students grades less than 60, even if they didn’t turn in any work.”
Sadly, it won’t be the administrators who set the policy who will be paying the judgement, but rather the district’s taxpayers.
