Student Azjani Senior said do-rags are head coverings traditionally worn by black people to help preserve hair styles, and said when she walked into class and saw the teacher wearing one, she confronted him and told him it was "a bit racist" and that he should stop wearing it.Who will we be sacrificing on the altar of political correctness today?
Senior's mother, Debbie Miles, told Here and Now she was "quite shocked" when her daughter told her about the incident.
School principal Dave Chambers read a statement to CBC Toronto, wherein he explained the idea to wear do-rags came from a Black History committee.Oh, Dave. The "road to hell," buddy.
