"That’s all I can picture, me crying, looking at the police van knowing my mother is in there,” said Iesha Cooper. Cooper was booked at the detention center and stayed there for several hours until posting a $225 bond. Cooper maintains she didn’t cheer any more than others in the audience. A similar story happened in Ohio this past week except no one was arrested. A high school principal is accusing a graduate’s family of being too loud and will not release the diploma until the young man does 20-hours of community service."

Mom Locked Up For Cheering Too Loudly at Daughter’s High School Graduation - COLORLINES

So, today is apparently my day to be mad at every fucking thing i read.

(via muchomegamountains)

You know what …

I have thoughts but they start with expletives , reach the third mark in spanish , hit 2/3 in french and end in calling every administrator involved all things but children of the universe.

And do not think I didn’t notice that Momma Cooper is tattooed and Momma Cornist is young.

Like those women didn’t have to do anything short of the quest for the holy grail to get those babies graduated.

They not supposed to cheer to loud? Why cause you don’t want folks to KNOW HOW HARD YOU MAKE IT FOR OUR BABIES TO GRADUATE!?!?

Dese mofos can kiss my ass and if that baby misses out on college for this bullshit , I swear for god , my inner Celie will arise.
