Rosalie Mullins tells a girl called Emily off for some unspecified misdeed, for which Emily apologises. It's tenuous but I think it just scrapes through.

I agree that it barely skates by. Maybe the test should be about main characters. A teacher scolding a child who only appears in that scene is lame.

The principal speaks with Roberta specifically (about peanut butter and jelly touching the turkey) in the scene following the Parent Night reminder. Although I agree that the show wasn't great about diversity in general, named women did have conversations with each other in at least two scenes.
