Okay, a staff of high schoolers (not adults people, these are kids) are putting together the yearbook. You have 30 kids working on all these pages all year long.

1 or 2 kids are assigned to this one section. They get the photo, put in the names and don't have a name but must put a placeholder in.

Not being schooled in the political correctness that oozes from the pores of every other red-blooded American they type "black girl" cause that is how many people still refer to African Americans. It is an accurate description--it identifies unique characteristics that she has.

The program they use capitalzes the first letter of these items (smart technology eh) and then the "Black girl" has a caption assigned.

The text is read over, but lets face it, Honors Society is nothing compared with sports, dancing, Seniors, etc so there is a mistake overlooked.

Now why in the hell do you want to sue the school? How is that going to encourage racial harmony in this area? Hey kids, love to update the chemistry lab but we have to shell out money cause the damn yearbook staff is too dumb to check their information. . .and they called a student black. . .

Maybe I'm missing a point here? This wasn't the School deliberately trying to offend a culture in a deliberate and malicous manner it was a student staff making a mistake and then it being overlooked by other students. . A MISTAKE.

Oh and lets not even go down the road of blaming the yearbook teacher who should have never let this through because last I checked teachers are human too.

Geez we need bigger battles than this.
