A high school principal in Tennessee issued a letter of apology to students and parents after publicly saying his school's black students were "less smart" after scoring lower than other students on recent academic tests.

"The hope was we would share with the students, this is where we are as a school," Principal Ted Horrell said. Local affiliate WREG reported that Horrell took the unusual step of sharing the school's test scores in a live forum with the students. There were reports that black students were taunted after the assembly.

3. Why do these idiots apologizes after the cow is out of the barn. It is to late. Shame on him. Why

should the community except his apology? I would execpt his resignation first.

6. That is what a certain type of religious person does.

They say sorry and all is forgiven. Or so they think.

As for me I say if he wants to be forgiven like Jesus then let's nail his ass to a cross and see if he still likes it...

5. Sometimes an apology is not enough

to keep a job as principal.
