Apparently a student poll has angered North Bolivar Mississippi's administration and school board. The poll by Students Involved for Community Change asked students to name the teachers they've learned the most from. Students named two white teachers who were placed at their school by Teach for America. Instead of issing a letter congratulating the teachers, Bobbie Reed, vice president of the school board immediately condemned the survey, and pointed out that the award would create competition between the white and black teachers in the district.

Superintendent Ronzy Humphrey and the board declared that one of the teachers named in the survey be banned from Broad Street High and Shelby Middle School.  

Note: Racism is unfair no matter what the victim's skin color is. It is the definition of race discrimination to have two teacher's accomplishments tarnished on the basis that they are not the right color to be good teachers in the eye of school administrators.
