So apparently the administration there didn't let a (Hispanic) kid walk for graduation because he failed his freshman year but has since earned all of his credits. The Vice principal apparently wouldn't hear him out and left threatening voicemail messages saying that she'd arrange to have his final paper not get graded, holding him back.
A (white) girl who got caught buying drugs on campus is allowed to walk because she finished night classes. To put it in perspective, when my sister was at that same high school her (black) friend got caught with a medicine bottle. He got kicked out, went to night school, and wasn't allowed to walk for graduation. Either way, I'm sensing some SERIOUS legal trouble for both the school and the VP. Those are some seriously weird standards they have. --- "I dont know If I believe in it, real lasting happiness, All those perky, well-adjusted people you see in movies and TV shows ?

He can graduate, and he'll be able to pick up his diploma, but he can't walk, even though a girl who got caught buying drugs on campus is walking.
I think there's just someone on the faculty that hates him. --- "I dont know If I believe in it, real lasting happiness, All those perky, well-adjusted people you see in movies and TV shows ? I dont think they exist.' ... Copied to Clipboard!

How is that a race war Because double standards My school's no tolerance policy will excuse a white girl who got caught buying drugs, but a Hispanic student who failed his freshman year and managed to complete the required classes isn't allowed to walk because he's not a "real" senior, even though he's getting his diploma. --- "I dont know If I believe in it, real lasting happiness, All those perky, well-adjusted people you see in movies and TV shows ?

I mean, a bunch of the black and Hispanic people are calling bullshit, and the white people are all saying that race has nothing to do with it, even though it is a little funny how certain people are allowed to walk even though they were caught with drugs, but certain other people who got caught with drugs were totally banned from campus

Not a race war until the hispanic/blacks start fighting with the whites. Seems like racism or white privelege and not so much a race war.

I don't really understand this. If a student earns all their credits, does that not mean they graduated? Are they not letting him walk because he didn't graduate hard enough? Is there a precedent for this?

Is there a precedent for this? I hearing that previous students have been able to walk after earning their credits. So it sounds like it's just him.

From the change.org petition, at least, it says that he never had any disciplinary issues.
And even if he did, they let a girl who got caught buying drugs walk for graduation. --- "I dont know If I believe in it, real lasting happiness, All those perky, well-adjusted people you see in movies and TV shows ? I dont think they exist.' ... Copied to Clipboard!

Mathematically speaking, the obnoxious idea that it's OK for 56 to insult 82, but it's NOT OK for 82 to insult 56. Of course, 56 and 82 can be replaced with many different races, religions, etc.
