Those Little Rascals!

Discrimination in Fargo Schools Continues
“Buckwheat”, the racial slur used by Mike Nygaard, an assistant principal at South High to degrade a black student, comes from the television show ‘Our Gang’, or ‘The Little Rascals’ as they were also known. The story has sparked some outrage in the community and the school has officially “punished” Mr. Nygaard by leaving a frightening note in his permanent file or some such nonsense. He reportedly gave an apology and will undergo training to make him seem more sensitive. Some people argue the punishment is not sufficient, others disagree. The victims, however, are getting a raw deal as usual.
