Arkansas Daycare Kicks 6-Year-Old Out For Wearing Black Lives Matter Shirt
RIDICULOUS! An Arkansas mother says her six-year-old daughter was kicked out of daycare all because she wore a Black Lives Matter shirt!
According to area outlet FOX 16, little Journei Brockman attended daycare at “His Kids Preschool” for six months. However, she was told last Friday she could not return.
Deval Brockman, the little girl’s mother, told the news outlet that her daughter’s school called her last Thursday, explaining that an employee told her she didn’t “like” or “agree” with the shirt. Apparently, the employee also asked that Brockman not send her daughter back to the school wearing it again. However, Journei Brockman returned to daycare last Friday, wearing a different shirt with an image of a raised fist printed on the back. But, when Deval Brockman picked her daughter up at the end of the day, she was told that her daughter was no longer welcome at the school.
“I got very upset. I’m just like are you serious? Over a T-shirt?” Brockman said. She claimed that a school director also told her, “I am not going to tell you how to raise your child, but you need to reevaluate how you’re parenting her.”
Patricia Brown, director of His Kids Preschool, did release a statement to FOX 16, saying, “We feel a childcare environment is not a place for a parent’s political views to be addressed or played out, regardless of race.”
Brockman has filed a complaint with the state.
“If I’m supporting something, I’m going to wear it, my child is going to wear it, to help say that our voice needs to be heard.”
