Some things just seem morally wrong to me.  Heydi Mejia graduated from high school in Chesterfield County with a 99 average.  She is #22 in her class.  She has to deport before June 20.  Heydi Mejia came here when she was 4 years old.  She knows nothing of her home country.

From the Washington Post:

“For me, this week feels more like a dead end,” Mejia said.

She would graduate from Meadowbrook High School on Friday, her blue gown decorated with awards from the National Honor Society, the school’s AP program and the Virginia governor.

She was scheduled to be deported to Guatemala a few days later.

I believe I have been fairly opinionated about what went down on June  5 during the BOCS meeting.  I had a post up trumpeting my outrage.  I took it down because Elena wrote a post that included a little more county history and was more inclusive than my post.  My post was simply pure emotional anger.  I may take it out some day, but not this day.
