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.

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 think that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

My high school used to talk about keeping students engaged and rewarding them for hard work, but goes and does stupid shit like this.

That's no cool. You don't have to participate in the whole production to get that paper.

Right. In hindsight I have no idea why I actually believed him about it.

They probably had good intentions but you don't need to do shit, as long as you passed you will receive it

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 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.

This. Double standards happen all the time. It doesn't matter their race and as soon as they start screaming racism that's when I automatically turn off as they have lost the argument.

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?

I hearing that previous students have been able to walk after earning their credits. So it sounds like it's just him.

Someone REALLY must hate him for some reason

Not that it should matter as far as getting to walk but context is important. Is it possible he's been a little shit toward faculty throughout his entire stint there? Pissing people off can make your life more difficult.

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.

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.
