I'm sorry I don't buy that. When everyone is special no one is special.
I don't know how these folks are lacking the socialization skills, they may not socialize with white folks, but it's not like they sit in a dark room by themselves.

If the purpose of valedictorian is to recognize acheivement, why shouldn't multiples be given out? Fears of diluting "specialness" are silly; I would suspect that even in instances of multiple valedictorians, there is a sufficient number of nonvaledictorians to meet the nebulous quota of nonspecial students you seem to have.
Everyone *is* unique, the uniformity if this uniqueness in no way diminishes individual uniqueness.
