Uh well, we actually had a meeting about your daughter, Kaylin.

Oh well, what about Caitlyn?

Speaker 4

Is she is there a problem at school that she's crazy or something I don't even know about?

Speaker 4

What's what's going on with?

Speaker 5

Well, actually what w we're you know, we feel privileged to be, you know, you know, like I said, there's only a handful of blacks and we try to carry ourselves in a dignified way.

Speaker 5

Uh our presence, our attitude, the way we handle ourselves.

Speaker 5

And uh, you know, Kayla's doing very good in school from what I understand, and very nice with all the rest of the kids.

Speaker 5

She's getting along.

Speaker 5

That's not the problem.

Speaker 5

What we're what we're trying to get is um the grooming of Kalen.

Speaker 5

You know, Caelin's has these braids, and what we were trying to do is is give you know, we had a meeting about it.

Speaker 5

Well, it's not necessarily her clothing.

Speaker 5

Of course, you know, the kids wear the uniforms, but the the braids, you know, we we want to represent ourselves with a lot of dignity, the way we carry ourselves.

Speaker 5

We want to be um, you know, pretty much nice and clean, spit and polished.

Speaker 5

We would really prefer if her hair was straight and opposed to being braided up.

Speaker 5

You know?

Speaker 5

I mean that kind of gives off a a a ghetto type of look to it.

Speaker 5

And that's what we're trying to to avoid.

Speaker 4

Are are you crazy?

Speaker 4

Is something wrong with you?

Speaker 4

You don't have first of all, how the hell you get my dump.

Speaker 4

If you couldn't call me for the meeting, why are you calling me now?

Speaker 5

Well like I said, ma'am, the meeting was to get the general consensus on where all the parents feel in the same way about your daughter and her braids.

Speaker 5

You know, we're just trying to keep everything classy at when it comes to the blacks that attend the school.

Speaker 5

There's only ten of us, you know, ten children attending I tell you what you can attend.

Speaker 4

You could what you can attend to is this phone hanging up in your d face.
