The Maryland teacher who was suspended from his teaching position for letting Middle School Children in braid his hair, received word that he could get his job back.
If you recall Marquise White, went viral for letting students unbraid his hair and posting the content on his TikTok.

The internet was split on whether or not his actions were appropriate and the school district suspended him as a result of all the commotion surrounding his employment.
Well Marquise gave an update recently.
He said:
“Guess what? Guess who finally received a decision from the county on behalf of the superintendent, um, in regard to my employment status?” White said. “At first, I was really bothered by how long this process was taking… but now, as I’m looking back on it, I want to thank the county for taking their time and ensuring I wasn’t an actual weirdo who slipped through the cracks before they allowed me back into the classroom…”
White said people have been calling him “everything under the sun.”
However, the district’s investigation found that the public’s “baseless claims” about him were unfounded.
