"That being said, Lampkin's request has nothing to do with a disdain for the Longhorns. Instead, a source familiar with the situation said it has everything to do with the academic challenges he faced throughout high school, despite having several foreign language tutors. Lampkin does not need to pass one Spanish class to attend Texas, but three courses. He needs to pass Spanish 1B, 2A and 2B. So far, Lampkin is still working on 1B. As Taylor Gaspar previously reported, when Lampkin entered high school, students did not need to take a foreign language to graduate. That does not mean Lampkin never attempted to take a foreign language before recently graduating from Cypress Falls High School. In fact, Lampkin attempted to receive a passing grade more than once while in high school, but was unsuccessful, which could be attributed to a learning disability the source familiar with his situation preferred not to disclose."
2) Vanessa Lampkin, Lampkin's mom, even tweeted at Taylor Gaspar to tell her "thanks for telling the other side of the story." It's been pretty much figured out that Gaspar's source was Lampkin's mom on other sites.
