This is not a lawsuit.
It's an award.
A political and often phony award.
It's not a suit upon which relief can be granted.
That's like Favre suing because he didn't win AP MVP.
It's not all GPA...they changed that years ago. It's a "myriad of accomplishments" to include others who wouldn't normally qualify.

The only thing I could find was someone from the applicant's side that said the lawsuit claims that school changed grades of the white student and they claim to have evidence
It just got more interesting. If it is mama's memory of what classes the other children took then it is bullshite.
If it is actual evidence, then mama stacked...

So do they have the same GPA or not?
The only question that matters.

have no doubt that she had the higher GPA and should have been the sole valedictorian.
So what is this high confidence based on?

I don't have an opinion on that. However, I did attend a High school awards ceremony this year and noticed the following. Every single white student that was awarded a college scholarship had a AP or Honors Stole. There were 13 African American students that were awarded scholarships and exactly 1 of them graduated with honors.
That was just my personal observation at a single awards ceremony and it had no bearing on anything.

The fact that the school hasn't ended this controversy already is suspicious.

after being forced to share valedictorian status with a white student who had a lower GPA.
This is some kinda bullshite, right here.
Now, if the white girl had a higher GPA? That would have been fine to share.

While this may seem like an issue of just producing grades, it is not.
School's have much subjectivity in granting these types of awards.
Regardless, as has already been pointed out, the girl had no damages. She was named valedictorian. Whether she had to share it or not is meaningless.

Why? The school says they tied. The mom says otherwise. How does the school end this if they tied as they say.

He is much skinnier now. That has to count for something.

Some schools do. Some don't.

Subjectivity = bias
It's simple math.

Yes. But what the bias is isn't apparent.
Let's face a few things:
1) Anyone suing over co-valedictorian status is a chump.
2) The mom is basing her lawsuit on secondhand gossip about another kid's GPA.

So, this girl and her mom are learning what millions of people have felt when passed over for an affirmative action hire/admission/contract?
That is a good thing.
That is a good thing.
