Forums - General - School rethinks its ban on dreadlocks

Oklahoma school came under fire for appearance guidelines that critics called discriminatory.

 

Recently, 7-year-old Tiana Parker was sent home from Deborah Brown Community School, a charter school in Tulsa, Okla., for wearing dreadlocks, reports Jezebel.com. Apparently, the girl’s appearance violated the school’s appearance guidelines, which state: “Hairstyles such as dreadlocks, afros, mohawks and other faddish styles are unacceptable.”

Never had these kind of rules when I went to school. What's the problem with getting your hair did?

That's why I cut mine in college before moving to the US. I realize this is an iffy issue up here.

I've had several weirdos with those type of hairstyles when I went to high school.

Oh ya I remember the "Goku" and "Vegeta" hairstyles lmao.

Only rule though that was enforced (and I'm sure it still is) facial hair needs to be shaved off....I almost got written up for it >_>.


I didn't have facial hair till I was 26. Me and my youthful Asian blood..
