We're not all the same

The Week magazine reports that a Rhode Island middle school canceled its traditional Honors Night over fears its "exclusive nature" would hurt some students' feelings. They later restored it when there was an outcry from parents. The principal of the school originally announced that top students would be saluted in inclusive, "team based" ceremonies. But in the face of strong criticism, she reinstituted the separate honors event.
