In Texas a public high school has apologized for describing an African-American student as simply a "Black GIrl" instead of running her name in a photo in the school's yearbook. The photo featured members of the school's National Honor Society. Every student was identified by name except one female student who was the only African-American pictured. Instead of her name were the words "Black Girl". The school claims the words were used as an inappropriate placeholder that was overlooked before publication.
