Yale honors Black girl, 9, wrongly reported to police over insect project

I am shocked at the narrow minded bigoted person; that felt they were in the right to phone the police on an innocent little nine year old girl. What the hell is wrong with society when a person automatically thinks that a child is doing something wrong or dangerous? 

I am glad that there was a happy ending for this dear little girl and she got the rightful recognition and respect that she is entitled to; as is any child with a healthy curiosity and also an interest in science. I hope that she gets her dream job when she grows up and is encouraged and supported at school so that she can follow her dreams.
