On February 28th, Principal David Segers of Price T. Young Middle School called the school’s entire Black student body to the cafeteria.

He then went on to blame them for the school test scores not being higher.

Some parents, including Demetria McFarland, say the group was blamed for the school’s test scores not being higher.

“They were told that they were the reason that Price T. Young was not passing the TAKS test,” said McFarland.
