A Chicago public school teacher now faces disciplinary action after she posted a picture of a student and led the way in mocking the girl's hair while others commented. Copying something she had seen in a magazine, the 7-year-old girl asked her mother to tie Jolly Rancher candies to the end of her braids, adding some color. The student then came in for picture day.
Other teachers complimented the look so she was comfortable when the computer teacher in question asked to take a camera phone picture.
On Facebook, the teacher posted the picture and posted comments like "And y�all thought I was joking!," "This is for picture day too! SMDH," and "Yeah, this is foolishness at its best."
Lucinda Williams, the mother of the student said she was shown the page by a friend who was also "friends" with the teacher on Facebook. After Williams complained to the principal, the teacher apologized and removed the picture.
Regardless, the Chicago Public School says:
The (Overton Elementary School) principal said this was a good teacher but this was a case of poor judgment. It will warrant disciplinary action.
