We are living in a world that has gone completely bonkers. How else can you explain what happened to a nine-year-old Black girl who was doing something good for her neighborhood only to have the police called on her because some old Geezer saw “A little black woman walking and spraying something on the trees and sidewalk, I don’t know what she’s doing, but it scares me though.”
This “little black woman” was nine-year-old Bobbie Wilson, being proactive about something she, wait for it, learned in school about a colorful but invasive spotted lantern butterfly. She wanted to put what she learned about this harmful butterfly into action. And for her responsiveness, a neighbor called the police, saying he was scared.
