SAN FRANCISCO (KTVU) - There’s a bit of controversy surrounding student elections at a San Francisco middle school after the results were immediately withheld by the principal because they weren’t diverse enough.
The incident happened at Everett Middle School in San Francisco’s Mission District. The voting was held Oct. 10, but the principal sent an email to parents on Oct. 14 saying the results would not be released because the candidates that were elected as a whole do not represents the diversity that exists at the school.
The email went on to say they were thinking of ways to value the students who won, while increasing the diversity of the group.

no fruit for you!
Atascocita High School band members are in trouble over a gift they gave their rival school before the varsity football game on Friday. The gift is supposed to encourage good sportsmanship. Humble ISD, instead, said it was racist.
Seven band members presented their gift to their counterparts in the Summer Creek High School band on the field before the game. Along with candy and a decorated bucket for Halloween was a small watermelon, coconut, pineapple and watermelon gum.
Eyewitness News spoke to two of the band members and their parents. The students said they never dreamed it would be considered racist.
"We didn't do anything wrong," said Carolina Andaverde, who plays the flute. "We wouldn't do that because we know better than that. Our parents raised us better."
"I'm mixed (race). I don't take offense to that. How can someone else take offense?" asked senior Alyssa Taylor.
They've been told they'll be punished which might include suspension and no more band.
"It's just not fair, not fair. They're good kids with good heads on their shoulders," said Hector Andaverde, Carolina's father.

Trigger warning: This article contains several gender-specific pronouns.
The Kansas University student senate has voted to banish gender-specific pronouns such as “his/her” from its Rules and Regulations document because they’re “microaggressions” against the students who don’t use them.
