Outraged mom slams teacher for combing out four-year-old daughter's $150 locs WITHOUT permission and replacing it with a painful braids style

You know absolutely nothing about this woman, her child, their financial or educational circumstances - nothing.

‘Bad Hair’???

Good grief.

[sasquatch]

Eat ‘em with bagels.

[ansel12]

It was meant as a sort of joke, but a 4 year old’s $150.00 hairstyle ruined by a teacher who redid her hair in a complicated manner is hard to categorize.

By the way how do you know they don’t predate your family in North America?

[ridesthemiles]

FUNNY WHAT ALL THAT FOOD STAMP $$$$$$$ CAN BUY.

[ridesthemiles]

The same ones who give a 5 year old a $1000 cell phone.

Brings back memories.

Time flies when you’re having fun.

[Mr. K]

it is when they pay for it with EBT cards

[ronniesgal]

where did u see that in the article? Should I re- read it b/c I missed that info.
Or you know these people personally?
I’ll wait.

[Mr. K]

you seriously think everyone plays by the rules with EBT cards?

Awwweee that’s so cute

[ronniesgal]

no , but you don’t know for sure either.
You don’t even know if she is an EBT recipient.

[Jamestown1630]

For all you know, this family makes more money than you do.
And there is no indication in this story that they use ‘EBT’ cards or any type of welfare.

People on FR used to have higher information processing skills and somewhat superior intellects. I don’t know what happened...

[libertarian66]

Look at the child’s name. Look at the hair and clothes. Look how no father appears in the story. I know all I need to know, and deep down, so do you
And yes it’s bad hair. African hair is notoriously hard to manage, breakable and hard to style. It lacks the strength and beauty of straight hair. Everyone knows this, black women most of all.

[libertarian66]

Her hair is no worse now. The money should be reimbursed.

The date of the family’s presence in the Americas is immaterial - their culture is not Western culture. Mine is. They are not of Western civilization. I am. And besides. they are only present here because your ancestors brought theirs over in chains. The date they arrived is a chance event bound in dishonour.

[Jamestown1630]

I think you’re a racist with a pitifully low-level intellect.

[ansel12]

You sound like a foreigner or a person from immigrants that hates America.

[AppyPappy]

I know she spent $150 for a 4 year-old’s hair. Really?

[Jamestown1630]

That’s her business, not yours. Unless she came by the money illegally - and we have no evidence of that - she can do what she likes with her money.

Just as you can.

You aren’t the moral arbiter of what the rest of us can do with our resources - and how a busy woman decides to manage her child’s hair is none of your business, either. (If the government tried to judge your financial life that way, you’d scream bloody hell.)

[AppyPappy]

“You aren’t the moral arbiter of what the rest of us can do “

But apparently you think you are.

[citizen]

What mother puts $150.00 worth of weave on a 4 year old’s head?

Using up the EBT allotment for this month.

[Jamestown1630]

Please quote the entire sentence I wrote: "You aren't the moral arbiter of what the rest of us can do with our resources" - and the context was financial resources.

No, I don't tell people how they should spend their money, especially when I know nothing about their personal circumstances.

I do call them on making obviously racist assumptions on threads here.

There are a lot of us who value Free Republic for the good in it, but aren't going to sit by and just accept, with no comment, obvious racism.

FR isn't a 'hive mind'.
