An 18-year-old girl from McGehee, Ark., is suing her school for racial discrimination. Kymberly Wimberly, who’s African American, alleges that officials at McGehee High School appointed another graduating senior to serve as co-validictorian with Wimberly—even though the other girl (who’s Caucasian) had a lower grade point average. Wimberly, despite taking a bevy of Advanced Placement courses and giving birth to a baby girl during her junior year, earned nearly straight A’s in school (she was given a solitary B). She’s demanding the school pay punitive damages and that the school’s records be changed. (Time)
