A young Black girl was expelled from her Louisiana middle school because her hair was “unnatural,” according to activist Shaun King.
King posted a video on Instagram on Tuesday of the young girl, who hasn’t been identified, crying after she was allegedly told to leave the school.
It just happened again. Christ The King Middle School in Gretna, Louisiana expelled this beautiful young Black girl saying that her hairstyle was “unnatural,” King wrote. “She was humiliated and removed from the school over it.”
The shocking video mirrors a recent incident in Apopka, FL. where a young Black boy was not allowed to go to his private school because of his dreadlocks.
King says that the school implemented the new rule about hair this summer, despite it not being in its handbook.
