Here we go again, another black-only school event. According to WTRF, on May 27th, at the Wheeling campus of West Virginia Northern Community College will honor local black high school seniors in its first African-American Senior Awards Banquet. These students will receive recognition for "all their hard work in school and the community," WTRF reports.
The event was organized by Wheeling Park High School educator Ron Scott Jr., who said in an interview with WTRF, "we contacted all the area guidance counselors at the high schools and asked for listings of the students. We asked for their GPA's and overall progress. Some had just brought their grades up a point or more. We asked them to forward those names to us and the ones that deserved the recognition we were giving out."
Isn't this a little disingenuous to have an awards show based on one's race, then claim that blacks are being discriminated against? I have to ask the question, how would Ron Scott Jr. feel if there was a White Senior Awards Banquet?
