You'd really think so, huh?
You all know I have a story right? Right...
A few years back, we needed a band director. Our brotha decides to head for "greener" pastures. So, this young brotha hears about our school's vacancy. Mind you, we have just gotten this principal (current) who was told,but wasn't
that she had to get rid of her 'fro if she wanted to move up and dissassociate herself from the "black" professional orgs.
ANYWAY, she takes one look at this dreadlock wearing brother coming for his interview and from what I was told, less than 10 minutes later he was out of the door. Let's just say that Ray Charles could see that it was his "appearance" that did not get him the job. It wasn't SAID, but shucks what else was it? He was certified, wanted the job...
The job was given to a "good ole boy" who isn't even DEDICATED to these kids. The MAJORITY of these kids are yep...AA.
Well, the dreadlock wearing brotha went to the neighboring parish and their band ROCKS! LMAO! Any old school Maze, Cameo, you name it, they can play it! While our band is playing songs from the 80s that aren't even worth playing.
So, I'm not surprised. What's next? Girls whose hair is nearly bald will get banned if they don't wear a wig?
