You know why....
Tamara Taylor and her daughter, identified in pleadings as “N.B.”, sued the City of Honolulu and the Hawaii Department of Education for false arrest, use of excessive force, and racial and disability discrimination after police handcuffed and arrested a 10-year-old Black girl who drew an offensive picture.
But also what is "offensive"? Offensive to pedo christo fascists?
Edit:
Thats not very nice, but also not offensive or illegal. I mean sure a teacher might wanna ask her what made her draw this, but damn bro, calling the cops??
I drew people shooting each other and far worse all the time when I was 10. But then I'm a white male, so I suppose "boys will be boys" in my case, unlike her.
Right, we drew entire armies on the desks with all sorts of phrases coming from the soldiers. Context matters. But I get that a teacher may not want to make that call in this day and age. But they should have a counselor or something on staff to handle this.
Yeah, I do. I suppose it was a rhetorical question. I'm just pissed off and tired of hearing the same thing for decades
