6th-grader Xavier Davis was threatened with suspension all because of his haircut

  • If you saw a picture of sixth-grader Xavier Davis’ hair, you probably wouldn’t understand what all the fuss is about.
  • At first glance, it looks like many other young boy’s haircuts, but with two razor cuts in the side. It’s a popular style worn by celebrities, including soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo.
  • But when Xavier arrived at Cedar Bayou Junior High School in Baytown, Texas, on April 20, he was told: Fix your hair or face suspension.
  • “I was walking into class, and then she saw my hair and said, ‘You can’t have two lines in your hair. Go to the office,’” Xavier told Houston-area TV station KPRC.
  • It wasn’t that Xavier had razor cuts in his hair. It was that he had two. Those two tiny lines are what led to threats of suspension. Read more (4/27/17 10 AM)

Jesus Christ. STOP BEING SO FUCKING RACIST, AMERICA.

EDIT TO ADD: I didn’t realize this was Texas, but of course it’s Texas. Please keep fighting and don’t let up, Good People of Texas. I know the good people are really close to outnumbering the shitty people in Texas. I salute those of you who are fighting to end shit like this.

So ,I’m a music teacher and every year we have what are called “walk through observations”. Basically, this means that 4 times a year the principal or vice principal comes into my class to assess my teaching. Fine. Sure. No problem.
Well, today I was doing an activity with my 1st graders called “Musical Groceries”. Basically, they make up a fake shopping list and then together we figure out what the rhythm of the words on the list is. To do that, a small group of students plays the beat on the conga drum while the rest of the students move around the room while chanting the word. It sounds weird but it’s a great way for the kids to figure out the relationship between syllables and rhythm.
They quickly get bored of walking the rhythm so I let them come up with their own ways of moving around the room.( skipping, hopping, etc) One student suggested they hop around the room like frogs, way down low to the ground. Okay fine.
Or it was fine until my vice principal walked in to do my observation only to find 20 seven year olds hopping around the room like a hoard of little hob-goblins, rhythmically chanting “BREAD! BREAD! BREAD!” while five other kids played ominous beats in a drum circle.
I have never seen anyone look so confused in my life and I really don’t want to know the rating I got on my observation.

my naym is teach
my class has fun
while some of dem
bang on the drum

but wen the boss
pokes in his heade
dey hop lyke frogse
dey chant “bread! bread!”

This is it. This is the best response to this story.

The youngest and at the same time the largest synagogue in Prague, the Jubilee Synagogue, is situated outside the Jewish Quarter, but near the Main Railway station and Jindrisska Tower in Prague. Jubilee Synagogue was built in 1905-06 in Art Nouveau and pseudo moorish styles as a compensation for demolished synagogues in the Jewish Quarter.

One of my pet theories is actually that typing quirks already serve as a protective measure against surveillance/wiretapping. You’re less likely to get culled for sedition if the webcrawlers can’t pick suspicious keywords out of your text.

Well it would be in character

meanwhile Karkat “Master of Secrecy” karkat just types in allcaps because he legitimately doesn’t realize how easy that is to parse

I like this headcanon more and more as it goes on
