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.

1. The daughter should be allowed to cut the teacher's hair. But seriously, that teacher needs to be

fired.

2. Todays local Fish Wrap says

the story in the media is wrong and the School Board will come out with a statement.

I can't see any way the teacher cut her hair without talking to mom and dad.

3. Good luck with the tranfer to a private school. My experience with public shools versus

private religious schools was that the students in the private schools were even more brutal.
