Michigan father angry after teacher cuts biracial daughter's hair [View all]
https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2021/04/20/teacher-cuts-biracial-girl-hair-dad-angry-mount-pleasant/7298328002/A Michigan father has moved his 7-year-old biracial daughter from one school to another after the child's hair was cut on separate occasions by a classmate and a teacher.
Jimmy Hoffmeyer said Monday he also is considering taking his daughter, Jurnee, out of Mount Pleasant Public Schools and enrolling her in a private school.
On March 24, Jurnee arrived home from Ganiard Elementary with much of the hair on one side cut. She said a classmate used scissors to cut her hair on the school bus, Hoffmeyer told The Associated Press.
I've seen this happen before, when I read about a local story in the state or national press before it hits the local news. Almost like they are trying to hide it.
The before and after photos are heart breaking.
