My sister-in-law sent me this. It made me cry.
This is going to ruin your day. A young woman of color in Los Angeles had her wrist broken by a school security officer after not cleaning up a piece of dropped birthday cake to his satisfaction. During the attack he said, " hold still nappy head."
The girl, 16 year-old Pleajhai Mervin, was subsequently expelled and arrested for littering and battery.
But it gets worse. When the girl's mother went to the school to complain and rightfully demand that this guard be arrested--she was arrested and suspended from her job with the school district.
Students at the scene captured the assault on their cell phones; one such student was also beaten.
Students have planned a walk-out in protest. Do your part--spread the word.

OMG!! This is horrible! The security guard and everyone on the school board who is responsible for hiring/firing should be fired as well. I hope the mother and daughter file a lawsuit.
Born Blessed!

Well, I'm reporting good news: Georgia's Supreme Court on Friday ordered the release of a young man who has been imprisoned for more than two years for having consensual oral sex with another teenager.
The court ruled 4-3 that Genarlow Wilson's 10-year sentence was cruel and unusual punishment.
Wilson's lawyer, B.J. Bernstein, said she expected Wilson would be released Friday afternoon from the Al Burruss Correctional Training Center in Forsyth, Ga.
Wilson, 21, was convicted of aggravated child molestation following a 2003 New Year's Eve party at a Douglas County hotel room where he was videotaped having oral sex with a 15-year-old girl. He was 17 at the time.
State lawmakers announced they had raised $4,000 toward a scholarship fund for Wilson, and Jackson promised another $5,000 from the Rainbow/PUSH organization.
I'm a married woman as of December 2, 2006.
Delight yourself also in the Lord & He shall give you all the desires of your heart.-Psalm 37:4
That's wonderful news Cinny, I hope this young man can put his life back together again.
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
I was just about to post that story. This is great news but the 4-3 vote speaks volume.
