US Education going to the Dogs: High School awards a Dog a Diploma.
By Africanlegend.
Midwest High School in Decatur, GA promises to provide people with an “ accredited diploma in 30 days.” For just 99$ and a written test, Midwest High School will provide you with an accredited diploma and have you ready for your next step in life. CBS undercover reporter Jeff Chirico decided to test MidWest’s rigorous academic standards by applying for a diploma on behalf of his dog Dallas Chirico. The whole process was done through Online Courses and Dallas graduated on April 27th 2010, with a 2.0 GPA. The school later stripped Dallas of his diploma after administrators were alerted to the fact that a K9 graduated from their school.

In a surprising turn of events, Dallas Chirico has filed a lawsuit against his owner, believing that he deserves his degree and was misled through the whole process. “I worked hard and I deserve my degree,” barked a defiant Dallas. “I’d be the first Dog in my family to get a chance to go to college. All my brothers just join the police force and bite black people and Mexicans for a Living. I want to change that and make more of myself.”
Dallas also sited the fact that he had completed a rigorous set of courses and met the minimum requirements to complete high school successfully. Dallas provided his academic transcript to argue his case. Dallas hope to be able to complete is high school diploma so that he can persue online degree programs in art which seem to be the area he has recently shown most interest in.
