This Week's UPDATES
This Week is going to very special because I will take graduating along with the LaGuardia Community College Class of 2021. While we all won't be together in-person celebrating this incredible moment, I can imagine that other graduates will take advantage of the virtual event coming soon by throwing a Graduation party of their own. Although, I'm gonna get real fancy and throw a Gradation Brunch in my backyard and invite members of family over to watch the Graduation livestream from LaGuardia. Before COVID-19, the school held its last in-person commencement at Barclays Center, and I learned that Brooklyn College held its last commencement in that same venue. So imagine how I lucky I would have to graduate in Barclays Center twice, assuming that I do get accepted into Brooklyn College and the pandemic is long over with. For now, I want to tell some other big news this week, KLICK-NET is getting its own TWITTER account! It will launch on the day of the graduation, and I'm going to film the brunch for a special vlog coming to FakeTV Box on YouTube, it's going to be a day I'll never forget. It's time now for the latest 7-Day Round-Up which capture some good news, some bad news, and some ugly news this past week.

This will be the last time you'll hear me say "our Main Story this week,' instead this segment will be renamed to "Main Topic" starting next week. But for our Main Story this week is about another Graduation story reported by The New York Times; it took place in West Point High School in Mississippi, where two Black students were named valedictorian and salutatorian. Here comes the crazy part, the parents of two white students claimed that there was a grade calculation error and that their children should be given the same honors as the black students. The error proven to be true, so then West Point High School would add the two white students as co-valedictorian and co-salutatorian. While some might see this as fair, there's more to the story than that. When you at the tweets in our newest edition of #TwitterTrend, you can see that people are outraged by this, and most of them are blacks, they feel that those black students were well deserving of honors and should not have to share them just because the Mississippi school made a little mistake. You can say that the parents of the white students were jealous of those black students and wanted to see their children receive what they believe is theirs. Soon after, the questions about racism begin to take in and people will this was a very racist thing to do, right to next white cops killing black people by brutal force. Listen to the reaction to this drama and understand what the tweeters have to say from their perspective.
