KC Cheerleader Gets The Boot For Wearing A Bonnet

In the 1980’s it was the dreaded Jeri Curl plastic shower cap now it has been replaced in the 2000’s with the bonnet.

The most expensive piece of swag a young lady has would be the crown she wears on top of her hair, and a woman will protect that crown at all cost and here in the 2000’s that protection comes in the form of a bonnet.  Us old schoolers get mad when we see young women out and about with a bonnet on while the new schoolers believe that wearing a bonnet it par for the course.  So when the question becomes when is a bonnet expectable outside of your house? 

Allegedly according to a Kansas City university not at cheerleading practice!!

20 year old Talyn Jefferson a Black Kansas cheerleader at Ottawa University says that she was kicked off the team after refusing to remove her bonnet during cheerleading practice.⁠  According to miss Jefferson she wore the bonnet to protect her teammates from her 3 ft braids during practice but her coach allegedly wasn’t having it which led to the coach going on an alleged racist tirade before dismissing Ms. Jefferson.

In a statement released from the school in regards to Talyn Jefferson’s dismissal from the team:

“had absolutely nothing to do with her hairstyle,”  “No student has ever been sanctioned or expelled for wearing box braids, bonnets or any other hairstyle.”
