"Either we do it how we’re doing it and that ensures that everybody is happy or we go to the student body electing whomever they want to be the queen and that could be a white girl every year,”
which shows a complete lack of faith in us students, who have been calling for change for years, so it seems that probably wouldn’t be the case.
Maybe it is a lack of faith in the students, but if racism is as alive and well as you believe, the school may have a point in doing it this way.
Btw, How does the school handle girls of other races (Middle Eastern, Asian, Native Americans, etc) when it comes to the home coming court?
