Of all the dumb things to ban from schools, hairstyles are among the dumbest.

I hate dreadlocks but I'm not going to try to ban them as president. Sheesh.

School is for learning, not for individual expression.

Pay more attention to the (chalk)board rather than on how your hair looks.

How exactly does the way your hair grows/the way you cut it impede your ability to pay attention in class?

Banning them seems more about stopping others from paying attention to their hair.

that's how black people's hair naturally grows, if you don't cut it/braid it.

it would be like telling everyone else they had to keep their hair short, if you wanted to be fair and consistent about the situation.

Absolutely should be allowed.

I got suspended for box braids in middle school. Had them in for like 6 months then one day my IPC teacher got upset and wrote me up and demanded I take them out before coming back to her class. I sat in ISS rest of the week. Mom even had to go up to school and inquire about it - bottom line was they were distracting... I dropped out and got my GED. Probably not the best choice but fuck it, here we are.

I had a white boy fro in middle school

All natural

People thought I got a perm. Nope.

Mostly white school. The one black kid hated me for having one. It's like dude it's my hair and it's natural. You don't like it? Fuck off.

The ONLY reason a hairstyle should ever be relevant in is if its height literally impedes the view of people behind that person, even then it they shouldn't mandate that the hair be changed but maybe rearrange the seating.

So like Marge Simpson might need to change her seat at worst.

Never looked at it that way. I just wanted to exist without judgement and high school was full of the latter.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I didn't mean to put down the GED, it's no different than a dilpoma in the real world. You're absolutely right. I make a decent wage as it is without the diploma so I see it as a win.

No, hair style should not be restricted in schools. It doesn't affect how the child learns so it gives them a way to express themselves. If other kids in the classroom are distracted by it, that is their problem not the person who has that hairstyle's problem.

You should be saying that to the administration who care more about the fair than the student does.

...But we all know what the real issue in your eyes is.

It's a not so veiled way of saying that they don't want black people at their schools without explicitly saying the word 'black'.

To police the way a person's hair naturally grows out of their scalp is racist.

Banning it is the equivalent of Japanese schools forcing kids with lighter hair colors to dye their hair black.

In other words, completely fucked up.

The Supreme Court ruled 30 years ago that schools can set standards for dress and hair that they feel will keep an undisturbed learning environment.

This isnt my opinion, this is the law. Has been since the 90's

The Supreme Court has precedence over every act. They are the final authority, the alpha and the omega. What they say is absolute and without debate.
