WTF Stories of the Week

Are they the only school down there doing it?

What's odd to me is that they'd do that but not mandate equal representation. Why have 8 positions out of 12 be black or white in a given year; do they have parliamentary procedures requiring a 2/3 supermajority? How have they treated students who aren't white or black? Presumably that's happened at some point in the last 30 years.

Of course, this ignores the fact that having class political offices is stupid to begin with and really stupid in the sixth grade.

A different article on this (or maybe it's the same one - I didn't go back and read whole thing) said they, get this, go with if the Mom is black or white because minority Dad's were never around anyway (paraphrasing obviously - but it really was that outrageous).
