Principal Asks 7th Grader If He Was A "Gangster" After He Wore His Hair In Braids | Roland Martin

Описание: A Louisiana principal is trying to justify her questioning a black 7th-grade student if his decision to braid his hair meant he was "being a gangster."

According to Ashley Thorn, Dr. Angelyn Mesman, the Principal of Calvary Baptist, a private school in Slidell, asked her son Dalon about his hairstyle.
Ashley and her husband, Damon, met with Mesman the next day to discuss the incident.

During the meeting, Mesman told the parents she had some concerns.

"I've never had a student wear their braids like that. I've had teachers personally come to me and ask about his hair and what I thought about it."

"I have seen children grow up in this school and I've seen them change, so I was just checking to see where we are. I just wanted to see his heart. Our culture is changing. Little boys used to have regular little haircuts."

"I'm seeing a lot of young people listening to a lot of rappers pushing for drugs and doing things opposite of Christ."
