but to Mark Twain, she’s not admitted

That’s right y’all, “racism still alive, they just be concealin’ it.” According to a recent article in the NY Post, 11-year-old Nikita Rau has been denied admission to the Mark Twain school in Coney Island, New York because she’s not white. The school has a racial quota, based on an outdated federal mandate which was originally intended to desegregate the school. Apparently, lower-scoring but lighter-skinned students who took the entrance exam will be going there in September. Hot steamy cups of inequity, anyone? Nikita’s daddy ain’t havin it. He’s hired some legal counsel, and I smell a Supreme Court case a-comin’!
