Default African American girl asked to change her "natural hair" by school...

Long story short..girl in school has really long, wirey hair, it is allowed to roam freely out from her head, and appears to be as much as 10" off her head...

Kids point out that her hair is very different than others..and ridicule her.

Faculty says that her hair is a distraction to others and asked that it conform more towards what is outlined in the handbook...parents refuse, school says she will be expelled...


My View: Its called maintenance...you brush it down some, put a scrunchy on that beast and voila..its tamed in a minute, and no one is put out by it, no more distraction...some people just got to resist.

She knew before going to that private school that she would have to abide by their rules.
Even the stupid rules.

Furthermore, the little bastards making fun of her should be severely punished.

Sounds to me like she/her parents are just looking for an excuse to sue.

Vague rule is vague. It should list what a distraction is-not leave it subject to one person's personal view.
Kind of like "No male student may wear purple shoes. " takes the guesswork out.

If your child is distracted by another student's hair, I strongly suggest ADD testing.

Now if junior is distracted by little Mary's short skirt, I get it.

I went to a private school for a while and my parents and I knew the rules going and I went knowing I would have to follow them. I never expected, or asked, to be an exception.

Maybe the kids sitting behind her can't see the chalk board?

Do they have chalk boards anymore or is everybody using iPads and telepathy now? I just don't know.

I'm guessing ALL males students are also required to cut and groom their "natural" hair as well.

So WTF does race have to do with anything???

It's a private school. She has been going there for a number of years. Maybe she should look at alternative schools like public and she can do what she wants with her hair.

Private school is expensive, you know...

When I was in school, girls kept their hair down, black girls typically kept it pulled back, or braided, this kind of shit wouldnt have gone over well at all...I mean, its a damn 70's female afro.

I bet your wife wishes you would restore some of the fuzz you had under your hat when you met, too.
