Her rainbow top and a colourful birthday cake were captured in a photo her mother Kimberly Alford later shared on social media.
«She was happy; she looked beautiful», Alford said. «You know, of course as a mom, I took her picture of her blowing out her candles and I posted that on my Facebook page».
But the post was shared with staff at Kayla’s school, and apparently, it was the last straw for Whitefield Academy. A few days later, Kimberly was contacted by Head of School, Dr. Bruce Jacobson.
«It was an email expelling Kayla from Whitefield immediately due to a post on social media», Alford said. «I feel judged, she feels judged, just very devastating for us».
