A Minnesota middle school said it will no longer allow teachers to give students an “F” grade for “failure”, as part of the school’s effort to tackle “systemic racism.”

In a video shared on YouTube, Sunrise Park Middle School Principal Christina Pierre explained that the new grading system will replace the “F” with an “I,” which stands for “incomplete,” and teachers will no longer assign a letter grade to students who receive below 50 percent for their work.
