A North Texas school district has apologized to a student identified only as "Black Girl" in a high school yearbook photo of the school's National Honor Society.


All white students are identified by name in the photograph in the Waxahachie High School yearbook distributed Friday


The teen identified as "Black Girl" is the only black student in the photo.



"I was embarrassed," said the student, Shadoyia Jones. "I was disappointed that they didn't catch the error."

Waxahachie school district spokeswoman Candace Ahlfinger said the district and the school board issued an immediate apology when the caption was reported.

She told the Waxahachie Daily Light that the label was a poor choice, but it was not meant maliciously nor meant to be printed.

Ahlfinger said the caption apparently was intended as a placeholder until the yearbook staff could identify the student.

"If it was a placeholder, why would you put that?" Jones asked. "Anything else would have worked for me but that."

Ahlfinger said the district is having the four pages affected by the mistake reprinted as soon as possible.

It is bad bad bad and oh so very wrong and is not in the slightest way funny.

I dunno, it was just a marker that got left in by mistake. She is black and a girl. it is not like it said "******" or was meant in a racist way. If it was all black students and they labeled a white female "white girl" as a marker until they got her info and was left there by mistake, would that we wrong? That is how I look at it anyway and I am sure that is all that happened.

Now I'm sorry, but that's just too flippin funny. That beats the "unkown girl" in my HS yearbook.

When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fullfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and be taken as prisoners to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
...At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
Luke 21:20-28

this will spawn a lawsuit. perhaps.

What is she going to sue for? Being called black? She is black! It was a simple mistake. There is no way she could claim that as being a racist remark.

Geez this just goes to show how racially sensitive this county still is. After nearly 40 years of equality it would look like every little thing would not be taken and twisted into something can be deemed as racist. (Not singling any one out just stating the obious feelings in the country.).

Oh My GOD!!! I agree with Ida. Thats something of a first. Bet there would`nt have been this storm if someone had left in (hick with a tash) or (easy chick). Get over it. She is Black, I hope shes a girl. Drawing attention to it is racist because it assumes that Black is negative.

I had a sig, once.
