6-Year Old Kicked Out Of Daycare For Wearing Black Lives Matter Shirt

A mother says that her 6-year old daughter was kicked out of a Russellville daycare because she was wearing a “Black Lives Matter” T-shirt.

According to Deval Brockman, when her daughter Journei Brockman arrived at His Kids Learning Center on Friday, she was told that she is no longer welcome.

The “issue” was first brought to Deval’s attention Thursday when a staff member told her that they didn’t like the shirt, they didn’t agree with it, and prefer that she didn’t send Journei to school in it again.

Deval reported the issue to the state and was told as long as there was no profanity on the shirt, she could continue wearing it.

She then sent Journei back to school on Friday with another shirt showcasing a raised fist printed on the back. When Deval picked up her daughter, she says she was told the shirts were encouraging racism and was no longer welcome at His Kids Preschool.

“I got very upset. I’m just like are you serious? Over a T-shirt?”

Deval told Fox 16 that she was also met with harsh words from the school’s directors.

“He was like, ‘I am not going to tell you how to raise your child but you need to reevaluate how you’re parenting her,’” said Brockman.

The directors of ‘His Kids Preschool’ declined to interview instead sent the following statement:

Due to the threat of allegations and under the advisement of the council, His Kids Learning Center will only be releasing this written statement concerning The Brockman’s:

We feel a childcare environment is not a place for a parent’s political views to be addressed or played out, regardless of race.

Deval says, “It’s not political, it’s everyday life, It’s all over the news. Right is right and wrong is wrong,” said Brockman.

Deval made it clear that she will continue to teach her daughter the importance of equality and says she hopes the school will start doing the same.
