What are we celebrating today ? I thought the greatness of our Nation applies to everyone? It's just a speech in 2018 please.

When the greatness applies to everyone, the microscope will be lifted. Until then, every moment of oppression of young strong black minds will be shown for what it is-systemic racism and failure to support. Get on or move on-easy choices.

Ms. Peggie came to play!

Me. Peggie does not play. I call out ppl like that as I see them. There must be a seat at the table for everyone, and not that rickety card table you set with paper for the kids.

So sorry these things are happening to people of color in the US while trump seems in my opinion to be encouraging this type of behaviour. I hope this principle is fired there is no excuse for this happening to this boy who appears to have worked very hard to achieve and excel.

I’d like to know what the principal’s reasoning was for denying him this.
-
Apparently he led a lot of student protests (lab safety equipment was one example) and this caused the principal to butt heads with him. If that's the reason it's very petty.
-
Agreed. When I was in a large protest at college, our VP of Student Affairs was asked by a reporter whether we shouldn't be in class getting an education. He snapped, "This IS their education," & damnit, it was. Mr. Lovett is a leader, today & tomorrow & he should be validated.

Now imagine the destruction to the psyche & the spirit of other blacks, not having the resilience & support systems of this young man, by people, like this principal, possessing an arrested spiritual development, who use their position to destroy.
