Middle School Segregates Class Elections by Race

When one Nettleton mother approached the school board, wondering—among other things, obviously—which "category" her mixed-race kids (Italian and Native American) fell under, she was told the following:

They told me that they "Go by the mother's race b/c with minorities the father isn't generally in the home." They also told me that " a city court order is the reason why it is this way."

A whua?!?!?!

Stay classy, Mississippi!

WOW. I thought this was going to be another misguided attempt at teaching about racism, but no. They're just being dumb ass racists about the whole thing.

At first I thought this was just some dumb form of affirmative action, but then I saw what they said about minority fathers and my head hit my desk pretty hard.

Shocking news: after getting caught, the school has now reversed its position and opened each office to all races. Their explanation? The evil affirmative action boogeyman!

Damn you government, forcing people to not discriminate against minorities... we need to dump more tea into some gulf... or did the oil suffice?
