Hair-raising incident sparks debate on fitting in at school

A grandma’s attempt to straighten her African American granddaughter’s hair sparks a debate on fitting in at school. The mom, who is pasty white, describes the learning curve in dealing with her daughter’s hair type. However, the grandma, who has no experience with African American hair, attempted to straighten it to make the 5-year-old girl fit in at school but ended up burning her scalp twice and melting a section of her hair. The mom was furious and banned her mom from ever babysitting unsupervised again. The mom is now being nagged by her mom to give her another chance. The mom is seeking advice on whether or not she is the a**hole (AITA) for not wanting to give her mom another chance. The post has sparked a heated debate on what it means to fit in at school and whether or not it’s worth risking a child’s safety and self-esteem to do so.
