Ohio school bans African American hairstyles

[cwilliams66]

Yea that was sad. The school said those hairstyles were distracting..they are, but only to white people who are in awe of our hair.

I thought I had heard everything, but that is utterly ridiculous.  They are more concerned about African American hair styles than boys showing their underwear!  When I went to school, young boys tucked in their shirts in their pants.  My nephew likes to show his underwear, and his stepdad stays on his butt about wearing a belt, which I agree is appropriate.  I can understand some things, but that is overkill, in my opinion.

It never happened. A lot of outrage over nothing.

I'm glad to hear that that rule wasn't enforced. I can understand if a child or couple of children were coming to school with unkempt hair. But in general black hair is just a different from others races. Then every black persons hair is not the same. What you can do with it and the way that it looks may vary. Also as children, it seems they are asked for the hair to be straight or more tame. Black people get their hair that way through process and children are too young to go through that type of thing on their hair early. Since their hair is natural, its going to be needed braids to hold the hair or style the hair. Then afro puffs, that may be the texture of that childs hair. Thats just crazy!

That's just silly.. I didnt know about this but thats silly to ban that when they should be focusing more on preventing bullying

[sarabtrayior]

Are they also banning hairstyles for the white folks? OR are they Racist and only picking on the blacks, someone ca the NAACP NOW!!!

Yes that movie is so dumb but I watch it every time it comes on lol, I could understand if mothers were sending their little girls with "B.A.P.S type hairstyles but puff's, twist, braids, afros etc.. are just hairstyles that are very natural for most people of African descent. Little girls shouldn't have to put harsh chemicals on their hair/scalp in order to make others happier.
