This is important because it shows that a large portion of the country is passing law to protect the cultural traditions and customs of groups who are experiencing cultural discrimination. - Ms. Beaman]]> 2023-09-29 18:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kbeaman/yh8s9dnkbsmzv8on/wish/2726466236 Instructions kbeaman https://padlet.com/kbeaman/yh8s9dnkbsmzv8on/wish/2726467552 In this column, pose a question about anything in the article.

Would the school district have to change their policies?

I can imagine that Darryl George, the young man who was suspended, is having a difficult time reconciling who he wants to be culturally and who the school district is telling him to be regarding how he wears his hair. This reminds me of the dual faces in "Eve 3.6" and how that artist is conveying a lost feeing in one's identity. - Ms. Beaman]]> 2023-09-29 18:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kbeaman/yh8s9dnkbsmzv8on/wish/2726473077 Important Ideas in the Text https://padlet.com/kbeaman/yh8s9dnkbsmzv8on/wish/2726504025 One important idea in the article is when the author stated, "Darryl was given an in-school suspension".
