19 y/o Black Girl in SEGREGATED MISSISSIPPI Town get VILE RACIST Messages!!!
Once again, the story is complete bullshit. And the mother of the white student would have as much reason to complain as the mother of the black child and blame the thing on race. However, she hasn't and the other mother should have followed her example.

>Segregated

Jasmine and Heather Bouse was the student named to be co-valedictorian at Cleveland High School in 2016 who the district said had "identical grades"
But Jasmine took more AP classes and the district's own rules meant she should have won the title outright
But Jasmine took more AP classes and the district's own rules meant she should have won the title outright and the school has never had co-valedictorian's before nor has a black student ever been awarded the honour in the 110 year history

How is this story bullshit? If the white mother blames her daughter's valedictorian status on race it only proves Jasmine's story as her daughter would not have been promoted to the second valedictorian if she was black. If the white girl (Heather) had been in the black girl's (Jasmine's) position do you honestly think they would have had two valedictorians? I know you want to say they would have but, given the facts, it clearly is not the case.

Oh, seems fair that they share the honor, then... waitaminit...

Oh, yeah. That's bullshit. Probably rooted in racism, sure.

I'm pretty sure that an A in a regular class is worth 4.0 and an A in an ap class is worth 5.0 with honors being 4.5
So if she took ap classes and got the same grades as someone who took less then their GPA is not the same.

There's a difference between de facto segregation and de jure segregation.
Obviously the school it self is not segregated by law, but could be segregated by culture, social norms, etc.
Given that the black girl was in the same classes as the white girl and supposedly had more AP classes, that doesn't seem to be the case either. More importantly, he didn't accuse the school of being segregated, he claimed the town was. For the town to be segregated, the school would have to have actual segregation either in a legal sense or through funny districting. Neither seems to be the case.

You don't seem to understand how that works. Unless there's specifically a rule that AP classes matter more than the actual GPA -- ie, a C in an AP beats an A in a normal -- which, by the way, would be insane, then that doesn't really work. Otherwise, "identical grades" doesn't mean scoring the same in every subject, but instead having an identical GPA which means that she could have under-performed in APs but, since APs are worth more, the result came out the same.
It's a 100% innocuous situation which is ONLY being contested because race was wrongly cited, causing people to virtue-signal like hell because they're scared to death of potentially being accused of racism even when they *have* to know that their position is completely wrong.

their daughter was forced to share the school's top honour with a white girl despite earning the honour outright!!
Jasmine and Sherry Shepherd are now the target of hat

I want the true/full story for this. This isn't a new thing, I think duckbear even had a previous topic on it. If not him, someone here did. In that topic, Jasmine's mother was quoted as saying she "knew" the classes the two girls took and that they had the same grades, then later admitted she didn't know the other student's grades.
I want to know what their GPA scores were. That's the only thing that matters here.

I respectfully disagree.
While yes, the black girl had classes with white students, lunch rooms, assemblies, and other activities that have students picking who they sit by can all lead up to and contribute to de facto segregation.
Things like ses, housing locations, etc, can set up de facto segregation that effects the whole town.
Based off of the information given, we really don't know what it's like there
