Wow...Now I do think they should seek some explanation but I don't like how its initially made into a racial issue. Just get a lawyer without going to the NAACP first.

The video said they wanted a meeting with the district. The article said they wanted proof from the teacher of her allergy to the ingredients of the product. Neither of which has been produced. I agree that the lawyers and NAACP seem "fast". But the school should respond with action instead of some statements. Either of those are doable or at least the conversation should be being had and it's not. I guess they were not getting explanations in what they felt was a timely manner. At least I hope that's the reason.
The teacher did say she had allergies at the start of the year, but she just now noticed she's "allergic" to this girl's hair product that she has apparently been using for over a year?

You should know that whenever you have a predominantly white school and the minority population is very low (which means that the school is not used to dealing with diversity), there is usually an element of racial prejudice involved in such situations, when basic procedures are not followed such as contacting a child's parents to let them know what's going on. And I'm speaking from experience as one who has gone to predominantly white schools (and black schools for that matter) since elementary school. Usually there is an element of racial prejudice (even if small) on behalf of someone; in this case the teacher. Because I have seen things like this play out so many times (including a personal experience I had), there is no doubt in my mind.

I've used the Olive Oil brand moisturizer before (along with the shampoo and conditioner) and will admit that, IMO, it does smell. Not a stinky smell or a bad smell but it does smell. I can smell it in my hair all day. I don't think that it smells bad enough to warrant kicking a baby out of class though. This person is an idiot. If she were that allergic to the product then she should have spoken to the parents to ask if they could maybe change the product during the week so that it didn't make her sick. She didn't even try.
@Dreamseeker lol Don't laugh about the EVOO, I moisturize my hair with it!

It's called open a window and keep it moving. If it is really that bad, then arrange to have a discussion with both child and parents about the situation--not that I believe for a minute that it was really that bad. Don't humiliate the child by telling her that her hair care product is making you sick. :neutral:

Or by making her sit in the hall. That was so wrong. She's supposed to be an adult, she couldn't think of one other way to handle the situation?

I was going to say the same thing. I like that company's products, but some of them just stay in your hair for way too long.

Nah, now had it been "Tussy," now that would have made it a racial issue.
