Father files $1M lawsuit after daughter's hair cut by Michigan teacher without permission.


The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in federal court in Grand Rapids against Mount Pleasant Public Schools.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — The father of a 7-year-old Michigan girl whose hair was cut by a teacher without her parents' permission has filed a $1 million lawsuit against the school district, a librarian and a teacher's assistant.


The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in federal court in Grand Rapids against Mount Pleasant Public Schools, MLive.com reported. It alleges that the biracial girl's constitutional rights were violated, racial discrimination, ethnic intimidation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and assault and battery.

Jimmy Hoffmeyer, who is Black and white, said that in March that his daughter arrived home from Ganiard Elementary with much of the hair on one side of her head cut. Jurnee said a classmate used scissors to cut her hair on a school bus, Hoffmeyer told The Associated Press in April.

Two days after the bus incident — and after complaining to the principal and having Jurnee's hair styled at a salon with an asymmetrical cut to make the differing lengths less obvious — Jurnee arrived home with the hair on the other side cut.


"I asked what happened and said 'I thought I told you no child should ever cut your hair,'" Hoffmeyer said at the time. "She said 'but dad, it was the teacher.' The teacher cut her hair to even it out."

Jurnee's mother is white. Hoffmeyer said the girl who cut Jurnee's hair and the teacher who cut it are white.

The district "failed to properly train, monitor, direct, discipline, and supervise their employees, and knew or should have known that the employees would engage in the complained-of behavior given the improper training, customs, procedures, and policies, and the lack of discipline that existed for employees," according to the lawsuit.

The Associated Press left messages Thursday seeking comment from the district, which is located about 150 miles northwest of Detroit. About 4% of Mount Pleasant's 25,000 residents are Black, according to the U.S. Census.

In July, the Mount Pleasant Public Schools Board of Education said the staffer who cut Jurnee's hair was reprimanded and that an independent third-party investigation determined that despite "good intentions" of the worker who cut the girl's hair, doing so without permission from her parents and without the knowledge of district administrators violated school policy.

Two other employees were aware of the incident but didn't report it. All three employees have apologized, the board said.


The school board said the independent investigation found no racial bias and included interviews with district personnel, students and families and a review of video and photos, including posts on social media. District administrators also performed an internal review of the incident.

But Hoffmeyer said the district never questioned him or Jurnee. She now attends another school.

ask the next of kin to go to bank with death certificate, it there is anything bank need, they will tell the person and will close down the account then give you all the money inside

We can't just close it down, his pension is still coming in.

E sure me die say you be scammer...........

Idiot

aktolly54:
if you ate the next of kin, its easier with death certificate, they will give you your father money.

I'm not

IgiveLadiesBj:
This is VERY ridiculous. You have bleeped up like crazy. Omo to slap you dey hungry me now. You have put your family in a big mess. What I mean here is that you can no longer access the money unless you get Letter of Administration from the probate Registry. This process is very frustrating and takes 6-12 months. You also have to pay the Government 10% of the money in the account. .


Why not try this, get your father's death certificate and some other documents, go back to the bank and explain to them the situation. They will not arrest you. The worse they can do is not release the card but to slap you better slap dey hungry me.

Why you no transfer the money to another account that's accessible. Omo I want to slap you

I will take all the blame

Pierocash:
but the truth is that you stole the card. Is your father aware from his grave that you took it?

Your opinion is useless.

Today, I went to the bank (access bank) to withdraw some money for my mum.

On getting to the bank, I discovered that there was network coverage issues in access bank after trying 3 consecutive times with no success.

So I decided to withdraw the money from stanbic bank.

When I got to stanbic ATM stand, I inserted my access bank atm card into the atm.

I inputted my details, but I made a little mistake twice. I was suppose to select current account instead of savings account.

After trying for the second time, I was told that my atm card has been retained.

So I met with one of stanbic staff, and explained what happened to him. He told me to go to access bank and lodge my complains there.

He also told me to go there with the original owner of the card which is my father.

The problem is, my father is late, what do I do now?

I'm afraid of going directly to access bank, Incase they might accuse me of fraud or stealing of the card.

Nonexisting1:
Why do I have this feeling that you are a fraudster and an atm thief. I may be wrong but my guts are telling me otherwise.

I stole your atm abi?

Whatever you say, is not relevant...

The only thing the government is overly concerned about is grazing route for kawos.

The old cargos think, the world revolves around oil.

Maybe at that 2050, when the world full adapts to green energy, our zear beloved kwantri will become a nomadic state for herders and kawos.

Embrace technology now or perish, embrace technology or go back to the Devonian era.

Oil will soon become stale, and agriculture won't be enough be save us.

Bunch of old fools.

Bro, target keyword with high CPC...

The thing is, advertisers bid higher base on location, conversion, etc.

That is to say, if a Tesla ad is showing on your site and your traffic is not from tier 1 countries, your CPC is likely to low.

Example, how many people will see an advert of Tesla cars in Nigeria and click to buy?.

If the advertisers are getting conversion on a particular geographical, your CPC is likely to be high...

All in all, target good keyword with high CPC. Since you said you are an SEO expert you can easily do that and rank.
