Of course the principle was being racist and stereotyping. Everyone should be treated the same and taught the same information. You will always have those that are underachievers regardless of race. And what assembly did the Chinese, Indian, etc., attend. This is ridiculous and Katy ISD should face harsh consequences for their bad judgment. Any teacher or administrator in the education field that does not see that this is WRONG should not be anywhere around our children.

There has to be a lot more to this decision and situation that is being reported in the article. The writer's emphasis moves the reader toward believing the principal and staff are racisits and possibly seeking to highlight or prove that a differentiation in intelligence between the races exists. Unfortunately the media has a fine knack for forcing audiences to form opinions without enough information to accurately do so. The article fails to explain how the racially separate "rallies" will help at-risk students. It seems more information is needed to determine if the principal's decision is valid or not. This kind of reporting sparks social tension and unrest!
