Yugoslavian Student Denied Valedictorian Honor in Georgia
An ethnic Albanian student from Kosovo, Adelina Kabashi, who had the highest GPA at Crawford County High School, was stripped of valedictorian honors by the Crawford County Board of Education. The board declared Connie Moncrief valedictorian and Bridgette Blasingame salutatorian, citing inflated grades for Kabashi after a transfer. Kabashi, supported by guardian Sue Thornton, lamented the decision as unfair.
