We're not sure why, but it seems people can't stay out of each other's hair these days. Take the Alabama court who said locs were illegal. Or the South African high school, which had its female students fighting back after being reportedly forced to straighten their hair and not being allowed to wear Afros. In our opinion, a woman's right to wear her hair naturally—or frankly, whichever way she damn chooses—should never come under questioning. Especially if the female in question is THREE YEARS OLD.
What. The. Eff. First off, coconut smells amazing. But that's not the issue. Amia, who is the only black student in her class, according to a report from CBS Chicago, is not the student causing the issue here. It's the children who were bullying Amia and more so the parents of those children. The teacher in question should have talked to those parents and not Amia's mother. Instead, she flat out discriminated against the student she should have been protecting.
In response to the totally offensive and inappropriate letter from her daughter's teacher, Norris followed up with the school administration, who had no report of any bullying. To say we disagree is an understatement. As a result, Norris pulled Amia out of that school and posted the following note on Facebook—wouldn't you?
