Principal apologizes for Black History Month celebration that included O.J. Simpson, Rodman, RuPaul

I wasn't sure whether or not to post this to the Joke Section of the Forum. Sometimes truth is funnier than fiction. In a letter addressed to parents and community members, a South Los Angeles elementary school principal apologized Thursday for “questionable decisions” about which prominent African Americans to highlight in a parade marking the culmination of Black History Month.

Lorraine Abner’s letter did not name the individuals. But her apology came after three teachers at Wadsworth Avenue Elementary School were suspended while the Los Angeles Unified School District investigates allegations that they had their first-, second- and fourth-grade students carry pictures of O.J. Simpson, Dennis Rodman and RuPaul as role models[!] at last Friday’s event.
