INTERRACIAL DATING FOE GETS SCHOOL JOB BACK

A principal suspended after he threatened to ban mixed-race couples from the high school prom was reinstated Thursday by the School Board.

The board overrode the school superintendent's recommendation in its 4-2 vote to reinstate Hulond Humphries as principal of Randolph County High School.

Humphries, 55, was suspended by the Randolph County School Board on March 14 after he reportedly told a mixed-race student that she was a "mistake" and threatened to stop the prom if interracial dates showed up.
