Incident involving Monroe County student gains attention from NAACP
SUMMARY: The NAACP and parents of a student at a Monroe County school in Mississippi are raising concerns over an incident involving two students engaging in inappropriate activity on campus. Both students were sent to alternative schools, but one student received a longer punishment after posting a video of the activity on social media. The NAACP claims that proper protocols for the student’s individualized education plan (IEP) were not followed and there is no record of a special meeting. The student’s mother, who is also an employee of the school district, believes the punishment is unfair and affecting her son’s education. The NAACP and the mother have filed for a due process hearing with the Mississippi Department of Education. The school district released a statement saying they treat every student fairly and equitably according to policy and do not respond to social media complaints.

SUMMARY: Isaac Smith, a safety for Mississippi State, emerged as a football standout at Itawamba Agricultural High School, attracting Division I offers. Coming from an athletic family, with his father playing at Ole Miss, Isaac’s first offer also came from there. However, he felt a strong connection with Mississippi State and its late coach Mike Leach, who he admired for his kindness, including attending a game when Isaac wasn’t playing. Following Leach’s unexpected passing, Isaac sought guidance through prayer and ultimately chose Mississippi State, feeling called to be there. Today, he remains committed, regardless of coaching changes.
