49. I think it is bullshit quite honestly.
Too convenient in the way it is worded, IMO.

I just spent the last ~20 minutes on a google search (and reading 6 pages of a http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=438494">message board thread about this) and nada other than this one account. Not even a newspaper (local or otherwise) account on it. Nothing.

This one sided victim's report claims she 'loaded up' on honor's classes, which negates the claim that black students are told not to because of the challenge. She apparently ended up with all As save one B. Honors classes weigh more than regular for GPA in most schools. That argument is toast.

Some schools do add weight to extra-curricular activities, so that may come into play, but not grounds for a racial discrimination suit.

Likewise, she was a single mother (and may have had a problem with her attendance record) - but also not grounds for a discrimination suit, even if the school took attendance into account in their formula.

Boy who cried wolf = legitimate civil actions aren't taken seriously.

Bring me the other side and we'll talk.
