A college recruiter was fired after they allegedly lined up several high school students by their hair texture and skin color in Oklahoma City.
KFOR reports one of the recruiters from Oklahoma Christian University came to visit Harding Charter Preparatory for an assembly. However, the high school juniors said the man rarely talked about the school and wanted the students to “play a game.” Korey Todd stated the recruiter started lining up his classmates by skin color and hair texture:

“”I could already see through his BS basically. He was a white man. He was like, ‘Let’s play a little game. He said, ‘Okay, everyone now line up from darkest to lightest skin complexion. He told us nappiest hair in the back and straighter hair in the front. That’s when I felt uncomfortable like, ‘Okay, this isn’t right,’”
Another student, Rio Brown, said the recruiter’s antics left teachers upset and offended.
“They were crying and they were offended. Their faces just look disgusted. I know they had a talk with him after, like, ‘That’s not okay.'”
