School bans student for shaving head in support

[The Straight Story]

GRAND JUNCTION, CO (KKCO/CNN) - A child's act of support for a friend fighting cancer got her banned from her school.

But after a firestorm on social media, she's being allowed back at school.

Delaney Clements is only 11 years old but the bubbly little girl has already faced a lifetime of hardships.

"I have cancer called neuroblastoma and I've been getting a treatment called chemotherapy and it makes my hair fall out," she said.

Delaney has received a lot of support from the community around her and recently, Kamryn Renfro shaved her head to show support.

"She's my best friend and yeah. (You wanted to support her?) Yeah," Kamryn said.

"It made me feel very special and that I'm not alone," Delaney said

2. What is wrong with these schools lately?

The kid was just trying to be kind. Never should have been in trouble in the first place.

3. Kindness meant she was thinking and thinking is subversive

and not conducive to becoming an obedient worker when she grows up.

It looks like MBA types have been put in charge of the schools, too.
