Grateful to Yale for doing a good thing here.
As for the person who called cops on a 9 year old girl instead of, ya know, asking her a single simple question: Do Better.
“I don’t know what the hell she’s doing. Scares me, though.”
And grow a spine.
Yale honors Black girl, nine, wrongly reported to police over insect project
https://www.theguardian.com/education/2023/jan/31/yale-honors-9-year-old-girl-wrongly-reported-police
from the article:
"Bobbi, who is Black, unwittingly touched off a national discussion about the sometimes mortal danger associated with racial profiling on 22 October, when a neighbor called the police on her as she used a homemade repellant spray of water, dish soap and apple cider vinegar to kill spotted lanternflies feeding on trees near her home."
not enough facepalms in the world. 🙄
Ninja'd by @CyberPlayGround, nice work there!
