An Oklahoma school district is facing backlash after two Black siblings were removed from their classrooms last week for wearing shirts that said "Black Lives Matter."
The controversy began in late April when Jordan Herbert's 8-year-old son wore a Black Lives Matter shirt to class at Charles Evans Elementary. Herbert said the principal, Denise Brunk, told him to turn the shirt inside out in a detailed account on social media.
“It made me mad and sad," third-grader Bentlee Stapleton told KXII-TV. “They pulled me out of P.E. and told me to put my shirt inside out and then I started playing."
