Significant disparities also exist at Mecklenburg's top-achieving high schools. Myers Park and Providence don't suspend as many students as other high schools. But when they do, most suspensions are of black students.

Just 4 percent of Myers Park's white students were suspended, while 31 percent of black students were suspended.

Well, maybe a tiny bit of good news from southernnorthcarolina's beloved long-ago alma mater, Myers Park High School.

Oops, looks like I spoke too soon. Seems we have an apologist for a principal now.
