A Waxahachie, Tx. school yearbook, listed the only African American student on the honor roll as "black girl". The picture was a group picture as all schools do of their honor students with the names of them under the picture. All white students names were listed but hers just said "black girl". The school is apologizing for it and saying that it wasn't meant to be malicious, but noone on the yearbook staff knew her name and that is was only meant to be used as a place mark until they found out her name. I don't know about any of you, but, as far as I'm concerned, she rose above MANY students, black or white to become an honor student with straight A's {a VERY hard thing to do these days} has accomplished so much, SOMEONE should have known her name also!! They knew all of the white names. And when I was in school, once the rough drafts were done, the teachers for the staff proofread ALL of the work before being printed!! This has taken away from the girls accomplishments. It's a disgrace and I hate that there is still so much racism in 2005!!
Just this morning, another yearbook in Columbine is being reprinted also. You know how throughout the year, the photographers go through the school catching people off guard to get goofy pictures to add to the yearbook pages as fun? This one had a caption below the kid as " Most likely to kill President Bush". What is wrong with people that this sounds funny!! I'm just sick that a few kids these days just don't have morals or just don't care what they say. It's a sad world.
