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.
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
It's a Ducky topic, we know that it's almost definitely false.
I'm not even touching on the silliness of de facto segregation.

Oh, seems fair that they share the honor, then... waitaminit...
But Jasmine took more AP classes and the district's own rules meant she should have won the title outright
Oh, yeah. That's bulls***. Probably rooted in racism, sure.
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.
You don't seem to understand how to read.

And you don't seem to understand what the actual rule likely entails. ---
