In Florida, a private school threatened to expel 12-year-old Vanessa VanDyke unless she cut her natural hair. School officials labeled VanDyke's hair a "distraction" and violation of the school's dress code. http://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word-94 …
These individual stories are examples of a larger and more pervasive phenomenon. Our 2015 report Black Girls Matter found that, in New York and Boston, Black girls were 10x - 12x more likely to be suspended than white girls.pic.twitter.com/UhlzXy31Zd
A 2017 study found that adults view Black girls as less innocent and more adult-like than their white peers, especially in the age range of 5–14.
