Dallas Principal Removed After Calling Meeting With Only Black Students About Their Grades

The principal at Woodrow Wilson High School in Dallas has been removed after she held a meeting exclusively with Black students to blame them for the school’s academic reputation.

Principal Chandra Hooper-Barnett called the meeting only with Black students discuss the school’s recent “B” academic rating, sparking outrage among parents.

“He said that Principal Barnett stated that those students, the Black students, were the reason why the school had a B rating,” Jennifer Bush, the parents of a sophomore at the school, told the Dallas Morning News.

Bush told the paper that she was “livid,” noting that her son has a 3.5 GPA and is in advanced placement and college classes.

“She’s Black as well. You have a historical position … and this is what you do. That’s insane,” Bush told the paper.

According to Fox 4 News, the school previously had a “C” rating, so its academic performance has actually improved over the last year. But parents still felt that Black students were being blamed for the school’s rating not being high.
