    This is the New Jim Crow. Expelling Black children from white spaces in a way that denigrates their humanity and attacks their self-esteem.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1031823052554858496 …

    It just happened again. Christ The King Middle School in Gretna, Louisiana expelled this beautiful young Black girl saying that her hair style was "unnatural." She was humiliated and removed from the school over it. Let's be clear - this is Christianity as White Supremacy. pic.twitter.com/22IIKD9UCk

        Her hair is BEAUTIFUL, NEAT, and CULTURAL! They have a nerve to have a statue of Mary there? That statue should be shedding tears right now, not that young student! How many white girls have long hair at that school?

        Funny enough I went to an over privileged mostly white private school they never cared if black girls had braids or twists or natural but I did almost get in trouble for dying my hair red. I don’t know how we’ve gone so backward now.

        Just sent my blonde, highlighted, eye-brow-waxed daughter to school, secure in the knowledge that she will not be shamed for “unnatural” hair. Imagining how beautiful this Black girl felt at the salon, getting ready for school,and how devastated she feels now. I want to throw up.

        What’s “unnatural” is wrapping Christianity around racism. This is horrible. And Wrong.

        Her hair is neat and out of her eyes. Seems conducive to learning. What the hell else matters? This principal needs retraining. This has more to do with exercising power over a beautiful, confident AA child than anything else. This principal is broken.

        This child is beautiful! Notice at the end of the video that she was focused on her friend who was sick and could not leave school and not on how horribly she was just treated? Blessings to her and her family. To the school officials, shame on you🤬pic.twitter.com/5KdBCB5rkU
