What a stupid policy. I would have run and if I was elected President resigned making the Vice-President the new President.
That doesn't make a lick of sense to me. It's racist, b/c they are rotating the positions on an annual basis? So in other words, they are including everybody, so that makes it racist every other year???
Wouldn't racism be, never allowing 1 group or the other to be in a position ever through school policy? I see affirmative action being implimented, but I don't see where its racist. Convaluted yes, but not racist, as every other year the other race gets all the accolades.
Look, I could really care less about this, its stupid to begin with, b/c its school positions, that really don't mean squat or have any real significant importance in life to begin with. It is dumb to me, that this policy has been around for 30 years, just as its dumb to me, that people are calling it racist in nature.
Welcome to the public school system.
Just another reason why I homeschool my kids.
People should be hired based on their skills. The best should get chosen for the position they are hoping to get. Though I do think that minorities should be protected from discrimination. If Affirmative action an affective program to do that, I don't know. To be honest I haven't really looked into the situation.
By giving the minorities protection, isn't that basically discriminating against the majorities? Why should minorities get special protection, while the others don't?
It's racist because your denying a race something one year, while allowing it the next. There taking race into consideration, which is the definition of racism.
Because throughout history the majority has overwhelmingly discriminated against the minority.
According to a memo sent home with students last week, African-American students could not run for class president in Nettleton Middle School this school year. However, the board voted at an emergency session Friday to drop that policy, according to Craig Ford, a reporter with the NBC News affiliate WTVA, who attended the meeting.
Ok, I read the article, and it looks to me like the school board reversed a policy that said only whites could run one year, and only blacks could run the next year, thus alternating which race would be eligible. The old policy is, IMHO, complete BS. Here is the pertinent part of the article:
They dropped the policy, which had more to do with political correctness than racism, and dropping the dumb policy is certainly not racist. Anybody who wants to run can run now, with no obstacles, and no matter if you are black, white, yellow, or even purple with orange polka dots, may the best person win.
I wish people would read the articles before making comments in threads.
So history dictates that we give minorities special rights, b/c of people who did bad things to them in a previous century/generation? Why do the majorities of today, have to pay for wrongs, of an entirely deceased generation(s)?

Who said I advocated for special rights? I said protect them from being discriminated against.
It was politically correct in that, since some people believed that blacks were unequal, they had to be given special treatment. THAT is racist, and actually hurts black students.

a school district board in a Mississippi town on Friday scrapped a system of student elections where race determined whether a candidate could run for some class positions, including president.

"It is the belief of the current administration that these procedures were implemented to help ensure minority representation and involvement in the student body," the statement said. "It is our hope and desire that these practices and procedures are no longer needed."
