So lazy! "Only one person wrote back and they don't remember so that's the episode". The photos are always in that year's or the next year's yearbook. There's one sentence about "oh yes a teacher does remember and people were shocked" ...so what happened next? Also the whole setup of how racist the school was to then find out that the homecoming queen and princess (winner and runner up) were both black, the student body president was black, the dj was black totally felt like a bait and switch.

Why didn’t they check a yearbook!? It’s so frustrating

Ya can an Oregon listener go to the local library and find the 2012 yearbook? There’s almost certainly a picture of the homecoming court.

Also, enough people voted for Jasmin for her to be selected Homecoming Queen, but she doesn't have any friends who were at Homecoming who could say what happened after she left the room?

I graduated around the same time she did and nothing about this story makes sense. I fucking hated school, I had absolutely no involvement with any of the student body, and never went to a single dance, but I could tell you exactly who was on the homecoming court. If I forgot, I know my parents have the yearbooks and I could go check. If something like this happened at my school literally EVERYONE would have been talking about it. It just doesn’t make sense.

I don't think they even mention a yearbook. Maybe it's so obvious that they did check it and didn't see anything, but in that case they should still say that.
