City Workers Take Down Basketball Hoop to Stop 12 Year Old Girl from Playing Alone

LITTLE ROCK, AK –  A Little Rock mom penned a letter to The Federalist to tell the story about her 12-year-old daughter and the city’s actions to remove a basketball hoop to stop her from playing.

“On April 6, my 12-year-old daughter was playing basketball alone at the court, as she often does, when a city truck drove over to her. She quickly came home to get me.

Now, the city is looking to impose a curfew for children it feels should be indoors, homeschooling and not at the park shooting hoops.
