Why did a teacher take away child's shirt with Greek sorority letters?

The t-shirt, worn by a 7-year-old student, referenced Alpha Kappa Alpha, a historically African American sorority.

The principal at McGavock Elementary School in Nashville is apologizing after a staff member at the school confiscated a shirt that a second grader was wearing.

According to an email the teacher sent to Chloe Smith, Peyton's mom, the teacher took away the shirt because the seven-year-old was not a member of the sorority. While there are some white members of historically Black fraternities and sororities, the vast majority of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc. Sorority's members are Black. Peyton and her mom are white.

Last week, a viral post on X showed a white substitute teacher wearing the AKA jacket of a Black teacher. The post and subsequent reactions to it have been viewed more than 17 million times.
