So "ethnic name" = "minority-based scholarships?"
i disagree with Sen. I think she should totally fight it. There are thousands of kids who are finishing HS in less than 4 years, by taking an extra class here and there, and some schools let AP classes replace certain requirements. A valedictorian being able to earn that title on the basis of 4 years. It's almost like the school board is implying that if the student HAD taken all of her courses over 4 years, she wouldnt have such a high GPA.
I think this is reflective of the academic culture before all of this. I dont think she should just "get over it." There must be something personal going on. And is this common, valedictorians getting a full ride just because they were #1? Or is this Texas-specific?
