Are hair clippers a weapon? Sun Prairie school admins think so
Manage episode 424700203 series 3256140
Three seventh graders in Sun Prairie were suspended and excluded from the school's year-end celebration because one of them gave another a hair trim -- because the school considered the clippers a weapon. This week, we talk through what we know, how it could have been handled differently, and whether race was a factor. Then, State Assembly Representative Samba Baldeh joins us to talk about his campaign for State Senate as well as his new grocery store on Madison's East Side.
