Such good little christian boys....little fucks need their asses kicked!

I saw that... I hope she sue's the school and them for a ton of money and gets those punks arrested for assaulting her.

Ah, Christian love. So this is what happens when you keep Jesus in the school, huh?

What's even more telling is that they apparently believe their opinion about her hair is justification for assault. Who taught them that it was their right to not only voice their ignorant negative opinion, but to attack her because she doesn't fit what they think she should be? These kids weren't born thinking negative things about black people and how black people should behave and look like. They got it from people they trust and respect to give them a viable perspective of the world, their family and friends.

All of the boys should be expelled.

I believe this could happen at any school ....being a Private Christian one is not really the reason it happened, however it did happen despite being a Christian one. They usually take a morally superior attitude, so it just proves that racism and ignorance abounds everywhere, despite their belief that they are better.

Religion poisons everything.

Christian benevolence.

I was just listening to an interview with Frank Schaeffer, son of Francis Schaeffer, one of the creators of the Evangelical movement, and he said that "Christian schools" were created as a result of integration. They were created because they didn't want to integrate. So what we're seeing now is that playing out. White Supremacists are doing everything in their power to hurt black and brown people, and they're doing it in the name of God.

Either them or their parents should be held responsible for a hate crime. Those boys need to spend some time in youth jail for assault and learn the actions have consequences.

ughhh so because they didn't like how she looked... they thought it was acceptable to assault her?! who taught them that kind of shit was okay or acceptable?? Oh yea, probably their christian racist daddies... fckers ... this is racialized violence imo cuz I bet they wouldn't cut the hair of a little white girl

I heard about that, but not the Pence connection!

I had a similar experience as a child.
My hair has always been very curly and up until the age of 12 my parents and grandparents would not allow my "Locks" to be cut (no doubt something to do with my Jewish heritage).
A consequence of this was I had a huge Afro which was the subject of mockery and abuse by school mates for years who referred to me as "White Golly Wog" "Bleached N word" and other charming epithets.
I final got my hair cut after being held down and hacked at in a very similar fashion to this unfortunate young woman and an attempt by one school mate to set it alight.
Children are horrible and always abuse that which is perceived to be different, or does not conform to their definition of "normal".
The mounting tension should have been spotted and dealt with much sooner in the build up to this attack by the teachers, however it is likely they too thought it was "funny" and turned a blind eye.

Kids bully other kid. This is news now?

But then Karen Pence also [huffpost.com]

Black people who practice Christianity make no sense to me.

Christianity has done everything thing it can possibly do to force itself on children. Their god is not love, it is conflict and it makes war wherever it goes. Christianity is a rapist organization that doesn't take "NO" for an answer especially when it comes to children. It has forced it way into every nook and cranny in our government and society and installed a monster in the whitehouse.

Read earlier this morning the boys were away from school, whatever that means. IMHO the assault should have severe consequences. Hopefully the boys and their families realize just because you’re a xtian does not mean you can do whatever you want.

Were the boys expelled from school? They should have been and the parents should have been told exactly why by the school administration.

The boys said her hair was "nappy" and ugly. White people know very little about "nappy" hair or what it means. They are racist. Try the Urban Dictionary.

Saw News that she Made the Shit Up... there is something about certain group making shit up.

It's also completely false.

A news story yesterday stated that she admitted to making this up. [google.com]
People like that really piss me off.

I guess the poor kid, coming into her teen years, wanted to own her head of hair and had no real way of voicing this to her parents.

If she had said "girls in her class" I might have believed her.

This has just been reported ad a hoax.
