Okay, so Pearland, Texas, is between here and Galveston. It’s pretty redneck but there is a growing upper middle class African American population moving to Pearland.

The redneck population didn’t get the memo.

A 13 year old junior high student who had never been in any trouble whatsoever before, got a fade haircut. It was a stylized M – no gang symbol or special meaning – just an M.

He got called to office and told he was in violation of the dress code. He wasn’t.

He was told that he could either be in in-school suspension or let the administrators – get ready – color in the fade with a black magic marker.

How white do you have to be to think that would work?  Seriously.  How white?

He picked the magic marker because he didn’t want to miss out on the track team.  So, they did it. And the student got teased by other students because it looked like crap.

The young man’s parents were never called or asked if the school could write on their kid’s head.

They are going to rewrite the dress code. Ya think?

The parents asked the school administrators get some training in these matters.  So far,, they have been ignored.

They are suing.  I do not blame them.  In fact, I thank them for taking on this battle.

They colored it in with a black magic marker.  Oh Lord, white people.
