      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

      Young Black Girl Expelled from Louisiana School Because of Her Hair
      We're seeing this happen across the country now - particularly in the Trumpian South where bigotry remains overt. This is Christ The King Middle School in Gretna, Louisiana.

      Imagine leading a church that is beset with pedophilia on every side - and you make it your mission to police the hairstyles young Black girls and boys.

          I want to see a picture of every single child’s hair in that school. Does anyone have the phone number for the school?

          I found it, and I called. On their website, there’s a photograph of a white girl with huge bow in her hair – it’s very colorful and would be distracting. I’ll be waiting while they walk her out the door..

          This is literally the most asinine reason to remove or expel a child from school. Hair style?? FFS already. Firstly, this child's hair is absolutely darling. Why, specifically, is this style not allowed?? Let's see them remove a white child with these same ringlets and braids.

          From a WWLTV news story: The school's handbook states: "Only the student's natural hair is permitted. Extensions, wigs, hair pieces of any kind are not allowed."

          I assure you they’d tell her an Afro is a distracting hairstyle. They need to consider ethnicity in thier rules or go away

          I was in high school 50 years ago and many girls wore wiglets to get a ratted hair style. Nobody said a word.

          Don't beat around the bush and call it out for what this is #RACISM pure and simple. There is nothing wrong with her, not with her hair nor anything else

          Imagine someone like you coming on here and screaming racism and racial supremacy when there are other black kids still at this school. She violated the school's rules, paid the price like any other student would. Get over it. Liberals always want to blame everyone else. Pathetic

          This has NOTHING to do with Catholicism, as a religion. I have seen black kids in Catholic schools in the Midwest with purple colored locks and hair. This is the SCHOOL'S decision. This is Louisiana. This is racism

          he doesn't know anything. He has an agenda and he pushes it and nobody corrects him except people who are against him, but they don't really matter. The idiots that follow him believe every lie he throws at them and the country gets more and more divided because of it.
