Mother Of Black Preschooler Demands Answers After Teacher Gives Son ‘Monkey Award’
When Braylen came home excitedly showing off his award, Ellis was “angry” at the teacher’s choice of an accolade for her son.
“He was excited about the award, but he had no idea what he was holding,” Ellis told Action News 5. “It’s unacceptable for me,” she said.
“We wasn’t happy about it,” Ellis said. “I’m still not happy about it. I’m angry because I don’t understand why my son got the monkey award when had received an award that he completed Pre-K,” she added.
Unhappy with what her son bestowed, Ellis contacted the South Panola school district, but with no response from faculty or staff after six days and several calls, the Batesville mother contacted Action News 5 for further assistance in her quest for answers.
