    Soooooo the rule was made to keep black people with big ass afros out?
    Of course not. It was put in place to promote the Christian belief in non-distracting hair.
    U know what's funny? It's not in human nature to follow rules that humans feel r unjust or illegitimate.
    All of a sudden u littering, speeding sodomites are beholden to rules? Foh bruh

    Do think this rule should change just for Her?

    Yes but not by those fools. Mostly by alcohol, ? and weed.

    I agree with you the whole notion is ridiculous.

    @Bye Felicia

    I hate to press you about this ~ But you're enabling.

    What's really not that big of deal is allowing shortie to wear her hair how it grows naturally. They'll never give us the liberties they enjoy, so the Last thing we need to do, especially in the 21st Century, is to just continue to "follow the rules." Their rules are discriminatory, and aren't worth following.

    Your effort will never achieve anything more than a raise, if that. You aren't ? on anyone by being what they want you to be. Equality, much less Excellence, isn't achieved by continuing to do what makes Whites feel comfortable; Because what they're really uncomfortable with, is Us.

    I'm sorry, but you're advocating good behavior, just like they'd want you to.

    I guess I'm not seeing the big deal about this because I wouldn't have put my kid in that school anyway.

    ? I'm going to shell out thousands monthly so my kid can be ridiculed and picked out by administrators? Have white Jesus forced upon me? No me gusta.

    Plus I'm the child of a mother who wouldn't have let me walk out of the house with my hair looking like that anyway. Your kids are a reflection of you, and the girl's hair looks dry and unkempt. Yes our hair is frizzy in its natural state, and that makes it look unkempt which means you need to make an effort to make it look neater. There's MILLIONS of youtube videos on how to style natural hair quickly and safely. This isn't an issue of the girl wearing her natural fro and being ridiculed about it. Her hair can be neater. That doesn't even look like her hair is in its natural state. It looks like she halfway blow dried it and fell asleep.

    It would matter if they had a legitimate stance. I don't think they do.

    Bruh, just stop. You're defending discrimination.

    It doesn't matter that it was a rule, or that an institution has the right to xyz. No Institution should have the "right" to establish rules that exile the natural features of any type of person. Principally, if a lil white girl can wear her hair naturally and not have to worry about whether it'd be considered a "distraction," our young girls should be able to do the same.


    This isn't to be confused with a certain styling being a potential hazard, for example in a lab. If it's safer to have all peoples' hair pulled back and tied up as to avoid endangerment, that's much more reasonable.

    Rules, laws, mandates, rights ~ None of these things are innately just; And especially in this country, we've had to fight against the fact that they most certainly haven't been just for us.

    * Stop being a ? , out defending Whitey's right to discriminate against us and ? .

    She goes to a private school. What did she expect? They have a dress code & she needs to follow it.

    I feel a way about them insisting she cut it, but I'm sure if she made more of an effort to keep it neater looking it wouldn't be a problem. She doesn't necessarily have to straighten it but why not a cute puff, a bun, a twistout, something?

    I'm putting this more on the mother than the school. As black people we have grooming needs that are different than our pale peers. Her mom knows this.

    Her hair is groomed, though. It looks lovely and healthy. The problem here is that what is natural for Black female aesthetic is not "presentable" for crakkkas. I am unapologetic as ? : this is how my naps grow; don't like it? Move the ? around. There are rules to be adhered to then there are rules that are racially insensitive hedging on prohibition, which must be fought. The child/mother is not at fault here whatsoever.

    I went through the same thing in highschool, they couldn't make me, but they made comments.

    Teachers, not students.

    A few of us was walking round fro'd out. But for ? to play sports, the coach made them boys cut they hair. My pride meant more to me than playing sports, for better or for worst.

    I had my hair for years after that, but a ? got into doing a lot of hot work. Fear of it all catching on fire made me cut it down smaller. If I changed professions I'd definitely have my ? return to it's proper form.

    Gotdayum. ? has a mane.

    That ? probably eclipses two or three ? behind her.

    Not that it matters though; with a name like "Vanessa VanDyke", she should do porn when she grows up.

    U ? will never be accepted no matter how u cut your hair... Lol@thinking that...
    Ol everything is racist ass ? . When this ? enrolled her child in that school they gave her fat ass a hand book with the rules inside. They want kids to focus on learning not hairstyles, fashion and tends. Know they are getting all this unwanted attention because 1 person wants to change the rules. Next the race card will be played when it's not even an issue of race.

    Get her ass a tub of styling gel!

    Ironic?

    Keep on fighting them and her hair is beautiful and all these RacNegros supporting this ? , this isn't the hospital or military, this is ? school. Regardless, her mother should have never took her there, but I understand the education could be superior than what she would learn in public school. But at the end of this day this is discrimination and if you can't accept that then you are just as foolish. Next thing always comes is we need you to to be lighter and your melanin is distracting. Keep on thinking the cave dwellers are on your side, they only seek ? either through violence or passive aggressive behavior, but ? is all they seek in life.

    Her hair is fine and age appropriate

    I'm glad her mom is making a huge stink about it

    An natural Afro is not 'unruly' or a distraction

    The school board should find a ? to sit on
