Texas town causing uproar with new dreadlock controversy
Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres speaks with DeAndre Arnold, who made national news after his school told him he couldn’t walk at graduation unless he cut his dreadlocks, Jan. 29, 2020, on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show.""Every day I went to school I would be in dress code, but the thing with them is if [my hair] was let down I would be out of dress code," Deandre told Ellen DeGeneres."[The hair] can't be in your face, past your ears or touching your collar.
In a surprise move, DeGeneres, who also made a plea for the school to change its policy, brought singer Alicia Keys onstage.She then presented him a $20,000 check to be applied to college from Shutterfly because"you're a special person and you're destined for such greatness." "The only way it could be in dress code, I would have to cut it," she said -- the issue being the length of the dreadlocks.
That is awesome
Who needs teachers drive what you want Build EVFCF.
Degenerate produced a 20k scholarship from shutterfly towards veterinarian school. She could have done WAAY better. Please dont act like she was being real generous. It sounds like she gave the kid nothing except air time.
Has nothing to do with his hair its a precedent that says u don’t have to follow rules. Hollywood already thinks they are exempt from the rules of society so sure they embrace the kid rather than respect the authority.
It's ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS we would reward rebellion! He's done NOTHING but say didn't want to cut his hair! The Enemy wants rebellion/lack of discipline &it shows. All the millennials/below do are rebel and mostly against God! This is the goal of celebrities who serve the Enemy!
I love the support for this brave kid!! He deserves it!! Always stand up for your beliefs!!!
2020 and people are still hassling people about hair. Smdh
Racist's heads will explode!
What a giant CoS!!
Well good. I thought the way he was treated was bull. 👏👏👊
He rocks!!!
Have money share it around.
I mailed him a gift of my cum in an envelope
