Did you hear about the young man in Texas who has now been suspended from school, a high school senior, a young black boy who has been growing out his hair since he was in the seventh grade, has beautiful locks and has now been suspended from school and told that he won't be allowed to graduate unless he cuts them.

I have an action step for us on behalf of Deandre Arnold,

the young boy, the young teenage boy who's facing this.

I have a phone number for us to call on behalf of Michael Thompson.

We have just five days left before his petition for clemency is going to be submitted to

the Governor of Michigan.

And last but not least, I have some good news.

There's a new policy that people are calling the justice guarantee.

And it's spreading not just throughout Texas where it is picking up momentum, but all over the country.

I'm going to tell you some more about it.

The Breakdown. listening to the breakdown. The breakdown.

The breakdown.

The breakdown.

The breakdown.

The breakdown. The breakdown. The breakdown. It seems like every two to three years we hear a brand new story of some young

black child in elementary school, middle school, or high school, who has been

suspended from their school, expelled from their school, kicked out of school if they don't change their hairstyle in some kind of way.

And without fail, it is almost always white people who set the rules and policies who do not understand the style they are

asking this black child to cut and it's not just boys in this case we're about

to talk about
