The American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii is demanding policy changes after a 10-year-old Black girl was arrested at school over a drawing linked to a “run of the mill” dispute among children.

The ACLU is demanding reform and $500,000 in damages after the girl was arrested at a Hawaii school for drawing an “offensive sketch” of a bully.

A Black girl, 10, was arrested after her drawing left a parent "very upset," local news reported. The girl was taken into custody without her mom, according to an ACLU letter the outlet obtained.

“We don’t want it to be about the drawing,” attorney Caballero said. “This is about a 10-year-old Black girl who was arrested and there was no reason to believe that she was violent.

The organisation says that incident took place after a parent called Honowai Elementary School in Honolulu to complain about the drawing made by the girl and demanded the staff call police.
