CHICAGO -- A local mother recently reached out to CBS 2âshocked and anchored by what happened to her son at school.She said his teacher cut his hair without permission, and she has not been getting the answers she wants from the Chicago Public Schools.A long braid was cut from the head of 7-year-old Montel Gouldâand he wishes he could glue it back on. He usually wears his hair with the braid, and it's something that's important to him too.
But the next day, when Montel went back to school, something else happened to his hair. This time, Montel and his mom say, it was done by a teacher.'He came up to me and said: 'My teacher cut my braid. I told her no,'' Glass said.For reasons unknown, Montel's teacher decided to cut his hair, clipping the long braid that hung over his face. 'I was very angry, because I had no phone call, no email, no nothing,' Glass said.
