Whether the woman never married, was abandoned by the father, drove the father away or the father passed away, she should have called the principal in advance and inquired whether she could escort her little girl.
Failing that, she should have asked a brother, uncle or male cousin to escort her daughter.
Just showing up and expecting to be included was too in the face, like a political statement for women’s rights or transgender rights.
And the little girl is the one who suffered for it.
Hear hear.....or grandpa even. Ask that a male relative escort the girl, while you volunteer to attend as a helper/chaperone. Even a close male friend.
Amen
