@Sammy Slaughter exactly. They want everybody to look the same and feel the same so kids can all get jobs they hate when they get older. Schools that don't welcome individuality are setting kids up for boring, meaningless lives.
@Sammy Slaughter but this is just a hair issue. Well groomed kids, cause educating our future leaders and great minds is the priority goal not individualism and personal feelings. People blowing in out of porportion. This is not a conspiracy scheme to take over the world by the higher elites.
CPS got called on me when my daughter's braids started outgrowing saying I'm not tending to my children's hair. The worker who came out laughed at that and said they were absurd. I shouldve blasted them onlinr
I’m a white, and I don’t see the issue with African hair styles. I think African hair GORGEOUS. ALL hair is beautiful. Don’t let anybody tell y’all different.
Nugget hi I need your help please. So basically I’m going to a comp (high school I think it is in America) and they so no braids with colours. Is that bad?
Just know some of us appreciate your hair. I personally find it beautiful and have an appreciation for natural hair of African American women and children. It's simply gorgeous and unique imo
Whoa.. It says right there that guys can't have hair longer than their collar or afro over 2 inches, but you want to pretend it only targets black girls? Reading comprehension not your strong point, eh?
Gives me "we dont want our black male students looking like 'thugs' vibes" Maybe just let black people wear their hair how they choose..is that so hard?
Shaving their head is not natural either. You just have to wake up and not touch it. You can't wash it either, because shampoo is not natural...therefore using shampoo would cause your hair to become unnatural.
I was just reading it and thinking that it was directed at black boys. Corn rolls, wtf that is, aren't a neat hair style really? Clear attack on black children they should be ashamed.
Like bruh what? Like our hair literally only sticks up when it’s two inches like?? That’s not even an afro? That means I can’t cut and wear my hair as it is because it’s banned like... um...
Me : *showing up at that school with cornrows * Teacher : excuse me young lady did you not read the policy on cornrows. Me : ma'am you said no cornrolls these are cornrows🙄
Yeah it doesn't make any sense at all! I would never as an educator or principal make such ridiculous rules about hair or style. You do you sweet heart and if someone has a problem with it, stand up for yourself and report it.
@General Too But how does hair and clothing relate to being in a gang or gang activity? Please explain to me with logic. How does one's appearance mean that they are in a gang?
General Too The idea wasn’t to “keep the children out of gangs”. That’s never stated even ONCE in this video. They clearly stated in the video, if you even watched it, that the policy was made because the school and staff thought the kids hair was “unkempt” and “untidy”. They specifically directed the policy towards NATURAL HAIR. Never stated that the kids are in gangs 😂 Also, it seemed like these kids were all very well behaved and their parents were clearly in the video, showing concern about their kids not being able to wear their hair in natural hairstyles. So maybe you should think twice before speaking and don’t make such rude and ignorant assumptions.
Moov This person defended natural hair and the right to wear it. They never said that natural hairstyles do not protect natural hair, so how is your comment relevant here?
@Kageyama’s Milk to be fair, sitting behind a tall AF mohawk is pretty annoying. I call it being considerate. If it's not the way it grows out of your head and it can block someone's view, tie it back. You can have a neon mohawk, but keep it in a ponytail during class. It's like a movie theater- don't block the view of the person behind you.
boys get more money wtf this is wrong I hate people like this just thinking that we can't change the way that we r stand p for what matters we are girls we can do the same things we may look diffrent but we are all the same at the end of the day speek out for what is write
Yup if I was in charge of a school I would be much more concerned about making sure kids are learning what they need to learn and have the tools they need to become the best they can be.
Both are equally important. The idea that natural hair is unkempt spreads to the workplace and it's discrimination at the end of the day. If we only worry about learning and grades but we don't fight discrimination then that is only half the battle. Once again, both are important. Just because it's just "hair" demeans the problem. That is like saying that there more important things to focus on-- but that's not the point. It's still a problem nonetheless.
Maybe they are worrying about what's in their heads....hence the hair policies?! If it's to big other students are affected by it when it comes to taking notes on class off the board!
My cousins friend got his license right before the lockdown and due to a clerical error the license says he is a black woman. He is a straight white male.
@@magicworld3242 In some schools, the dress code is that all students must have a natural hair color. Not just black students. But, I would agree that it is more targeted at african americans.
@@finnehughes , The reason (Hair Color) unfairly targets Black Children is because. Society is willing to (NOT) question the color of a white person hair. But if you're Asian, Hispanic or Black and have any other color hair (BESIDES) black. People have a problem with it.
I've seen hair policies for white kids, but they were at a private school and only affected boys. Boys weren't allowed to have hair long enough to touch their ears or collars.
its not, its just racism under the guise of "protecting students." you can even see it in the way they misspelled cornrows. they dont respect black hairstyles enough to even learn what the names of them are.
And then they said that it isnt a rule for females, only males, as if that makes it better 🤦🏼♀️ Bruh we white People can litrally have hair down to our butt and nobody cares, its even consideret beautiful, but as soon as its about blacks natural hair they gotta straigten, iron or hide it? Hell nah, thats just fucking racist.
This happened at my daughters high school here in London. The went as far to say that our children's hair should be relaxed and they cannot were their hair in puff balls.Trust me, parents were vocal.🤨
So they wanted young children to be constantly exposed to strong chemicals? Sounds like a pretty good lawsuit to me. If I had a kid that had to do that I'd be pissed. Actually I have no kids & don't plan on any. But it still pisses me off. It's both racist & harmful to the kids.
The discrimination doesn't stop at black people,or even women. This country is run by people who are so narrow minded,so out of touch,that they are sexist, racist, and the like towards everyone in one way or another. I cant wait until the next generation takes their place.
***** With a little *Star* power. All you got to do is add an * where ever you want to bold to begin and another * where you want it to end. But make sure to have no space between the first * and first letter, as well as the last star and letter.
As a mother of a young beautiful melanated daughter, I feel the same way and I would have nationally put it out there also! Yes, mom you did a great thing, because of what YOU did, that ridiculous policy is no more! Thank you
yeah that makes no sense to me. if you just leave it vague like that and open to personal interpretation, who knows who's going to be exploited by it. Since when has the length of someone's hair EVER impeded their capacity to learn??
@@once.upon.a.time. I've heard the argument that the way our long hair manifests itself either create a "distraction" or it's an obstruction for the children behind the hair (in the case of afros).🤷🏿♂️
If a white girl can wear her hair natural, so can black girls. I dont know why this is even “controversial” you should be able to love yourself as is. I damaged my hair because I was made to believe straight long hair was the only thing considered beautiful. I have learned to embrace my curly hair. EMBRACE YOUR NATURAL HAIR. FIND THAT SELF LOVE
Gabriella ballor Poor Gabriella, you’re so oppressed, aren’t you? Every country and every culture on the planet has a standard of beauty. Has an beauty ideal. You’re not oppressed because you don’t fit that standard or ideal. I don’t fit lots of standards or ideals around the world.
"our policy was always strictly for male students, there have never been restrictions for female students" *TWO SECONDS LATER* "All of our policy has always been for all of our students"
@@DarkKnightTrinity Probably a homophobic school worried it may make a male student 'gay' for any expression because its a southern state like Kentucky
@Pamela Moore unfortunately that is a predominantly black oriented school the lady had braids and the principal was black both interviewed saying it was for the boys.
Anyone wanna talk about the misandry too? “No male may dye, tint, or highlight his hair in any way” “They male’s hair length must be kept at a reasonable length; hair no longer than the top of the shirt collar, above the eyebrows...” Imagine being both racist AND sexist
racism is here to stay, you can't ever not be a racist. One single thing you are a racist, one vote for a black president you are still a racist two votes for a black president you are still a racist. Minority people are getting doctorates in white hateology.
did you read the policy they posted in the vid? it doesn't ban natural hair of any kind. it bans cornrows, twists and Mohawks and asks that afros be kept shorter than 2 inches. one of those hairstyles isn't even specific to blacks, and at no point does it say blacks natural hair is banned
@@regulardude3693 smh all of those hair styles are mostly worn by people who have natural hair. If the fro grows more than 2 inches...and they can't twist it...or braid it...then what else is there to do with it????????
i dont get why what your hair is styled like and think that the rules are stupid. BUT cornrows, braids, dreadlocks etc is NOT natural hair its a style you went and done to your hair. like i said though it shouldnt matter in school
Rob Gillan the point is when we wear our hair in its natural state we also put maintenance styles in or else you can comb it out into an afro, do twist outs, etc. So cornrows, braids, Locs are styles in which our natural hair can be neatly wore instead of all over our heads (not that its a bad thing) so yes, they ARE natural styles meant to keep the hair kempt.
cashew+ My middle school had strict dressing rules. It was ridiculous, you couldn't have two-toned hair, and a bunch of others I couldn't remember. Happy I'm out of that school
X⃟x⃟SnowX⃟x⃟ I hate that....but at least you can still understand. Coloring isn't natural. However, styling what's already there is....and that's fucked up
Let's be real here teens mainly go to school because they have to. I honestly just wanted to see friends more than get educated lmao, I'm still smart tho
Courtney B Can't close our eyes and pretend racism don't exist. We have the right to wear our hair in its God given way and not be degraded or chastised for doing so. But yes, getting a good education is very important.
I would have a field day with the "cornrolls" misspelling!! I would get everyone who could to wear cornrows to school all week. What rule would I be violating..?? Cornrows weren't on the list! Haha
When I attended a boys grammar school in the UK back in the 50s, if certain teachers thought your hair was too long, they would throw half a crown at you and tell you to go into town and get your hair cut. (Half a crown was two shilings and six pence back then.)
How can you ban hair? That doesn’t make since. Even if the policy was written for male students, like how would dreads be distracting on a guy but not a girl. Poorly thought out for sure.
Right? How is my fro gonna keep other ppl from learning. I am black therefore my hair grows from my head differently than some other people. It is not political. It is part of my body as God intended.
So sorry for the continuity being disrupted here, but I reported that comment and it has been removed. As if the wording in the dress code wasn't offensive enough, some moron decided to be extra racist in the comments about the above video. You didn't miss anything :)
It’s not fair we get made fun of for wearing braids then if we wear our natural hair we look tacky if we wear straight hair we trying to look like them if we wear a weave or wig we are bald why can’t people let us be
As a white teenager, I've shown up to class with messy hair that I've done absolutely nothing to. If that's not considered "untidy" then there is NO REASON WHATSOEVER that black teenagers that have had their hair done in cornrows or that have kept their natural hair should be considered more "messy" than mine. It's blatant racism and unfortunately it happens all the time. It's not right and no student or employee should have to stand for such discrimination. I don't care what people say about it because in my eyes, any type of discrimination based upon physical appearances are WRONG.
6:35-6:40 lol they'll also make assumptions on how badly they enunciate. And that idealism at the end is a joke; conformity is always pushed, why else are job interviews so full of crap?
I knew guys with shoulder length hair that didn't wash it but once every 2 weeks. It looked gross and no one ever told them to clean up. Targeting dreadlocks and cornrows seems a bit specific and like they were asking to get blown the fuck up.. They basically threw themselves down a flight of stairs and said it wasn't on purpose. xD
It's not about that it's about Society wants African American people to stay in this bubble that they can control Whenever However but a lot of black people are getting woke up that's what I say stay woke to everything that's going on in society and everybody's wearing their natural hair because this is the way that we used to wear hair in Africa when we were there and it's not okay to them they feel is though we should wear are hair straight and fall into every thing that everybody else is doing in order to fit in but that's not the case enough is enough everybody gets to do what they want you know we should be able to live in peace also but that's probably never going to happen
the school talks about ' attention grabbing hairstyles' I dunno about you, bur I see someone with natural hair and I don't look twice. I think it's beautiful but it's not distracting from education
These folks still just don't get it. Just because the principle and staff are Black, doesn't change anything. Your own people do the most damage, and I applaud the Mother who stood up for her daughter, and all the Parents who came in support. It's our natural hair, and should never have to be a polarizing and political statement. Stop colonizing thier minds and telling the babies that they aren't good enough.
I'm not black, but a POC, i've noticed black kids get picked on by other black kids about this type of subject. And both about being too African American or not African American enough.
None of us are black, we're brown firstly and secondly where do that come from... white supremacy, brown folks need to wake up and stop being a slave to white supremacy. Love yourself and your Beautiful people!
+NII STO SunkissedOriginal you are a slave to white supremacy because you have let it convince you that there is something wrong with being black. newsflash, white supremacy doesn't like brown either.
Mad respect for the mom standing up for her daughter…the lady asking “why didn’t you just wait to talk to the school the next day?” Well I mean…it’s indicative of a huge problem, I’m glad her mom shared and was able to bring awareness to this
riikerman No one cares about your religious bullshit. Your religion isn't the only one out there. And it doesn't say to cover hair in every religion. And not everyone even follows a religion.
riikerman You need to research the cultural context in which this verse was written. The women who were uncovered in that time and place were the prostitutes. Its about not drawing attention to yourself but you shouldnt try to impose it on people of other faiths either.
@Marissa Johnson same rules should apply to all in this case thats why this rule is dumb and your right people practice different things in their culture like we can wear our hair any natural way we want in our culture
@@motherearth1763 Yes, the length is for all races. I'm Black and always had my hair in a bun, so I've never had to deal with it, but one guy (White) had the prettiest long hair, and they said he had to cut it or would be suspended until he did. It was so stupid. I also disagree with the afro one. I think that there should be a reasonable afro limit (like if your hair is waist length, at least put it in a bun so people behind them can see), but 4 or 5 inches isn't hurting anyone.
Just to piss them off show up with a cornrow, twist, a mohawk in the center etc as your hairstyle. --> I might have if my high school wrote these things in the dress code for hair.
The principle is a black man?? Man I'm even more offended! Like what was he told as a child? What was he told about his African features? What was he told when his hair grew out kinky? Just so many questions on how this man was raised 😩😩😩
mayerscd so he was raised by white folk? Makes more sense now as to why he made these rules 😢 poor man was probably told his nappy has was unruly 😢 sad really.....
That was my experience growing up in the 60’s and 70’s. My mother straighten our hair and she wore wigs. I decided to grow an Afro when I became a teen.
“It was almost like an attack on me and my culture”. Not almost. It IS an attack on black culture. How are you going to target people for their natural looks? Natural hair is beautiful.
Why is this a black thing??? Blacks arent the only ones with bad nappy hair. I may not agree with this policy but im not standing on this is a race thing.
what a bout the white peoples natural hair and how they wear in french braids and pigtails and other hairstyles if your trying too ban just african americain hairstyles thats pretty much called discrimation/racial profiling something needs too be done about this crazyiness SMDH
u took the words outta my mouth!! that's EXACTLY what went through my mind initially.. I can understand the bans on wearing certain clothing and things of that nature but hair is hair and if they're gonna ban black people from wearing their hair in it's natural state then the same should be done to every other race because that's extremely discriminating and completely unethical.. how a person chooses to style their hair shouldn't be any of the school's business unless there is something offensive or inappropriate done with it, such as shaving obscene words or graphics into it or something like that.. these schools are getting worse and worse with their need to control people's lives.. it's unacceptable and should be addressed by the board of education in each state IMMEDIATELY.. MUCH LOVE 🙏💗💖✌👍
@@jennifermoody6987 Agreed. i see how much this is affecting them because i have black friends with beautiful natural hair so to see them hurt like this makes me so upset and sad and angry
@@TheCreativeAutistic37 Me too.. I have NEVER had a single shred of tolerance for the horrible way black people have be treated by my own race and I'm usually the first one to shut it down if I see it happening..the fact of the matter is, with THIS issue in particular, that the school board needs to respect people's rights and realize that there are certain boundaries and lines that they have absolutely no business crossing whatsoever..every person has a God given right to wear their hair any way they choose and they shouldn't have to be told that they have to change it if they wanna be allowed to go to school and learn..these immorally disturbing attempts at controlling everything by people who think that, just because they're in a position of power, that gives them the right to treat people however they want, needs to be shut down IMMEDIATELY.. double standards have absolutely no place in justice, liberty and morality..MUCH LOVE MY FRIEND
Yes i agree i am white and i feel like i feel there cultures pain because my hair is thicker than everyblack womens hair that i have met if i were to get a tan and die my hair black and then wore one of there most comment hairstiles being targeted i would. Still not be discriminated because im white they are huge racist
Lise Taylor exactly we the people should not have rules about looks because we can not ever all look exactly the same we like diversity in our melting pot America !
@Lise Taylor I know about the Rastafari, I was just saying as far as certain work places taking the freedom of religion out like God and stuff! I know that's off topic but I thought that's what the guy was talking about
Zameria Jones not just black. Ive has same issue. Because my hair is very thick, long and wavey. It was consideres a distraction and i was told to cut it and make it straight
This reminds me of when a friend of mine had a pentagram on his binder (being the edgy kid that he was) and the teachers made a fuss about it. He told them it was his religion and they shouldn't discriminate. They about shit themselves, apparently tried to apologize to him, and said they never meant to offend. What's funny is he's not religious at all. I think someone definitely should have directly challenged them like that. It would have been hilarious.
Natural hair isn't a trend or a political statement. It's just the hair that I was born with and there's nothing I can do about it without damaging my hair.
I’m white, but I absolutely hate this! If I’m going to be honest when I was younger I hated that I didn’t have this hair this curly or beautiful. As a kid I was really aware of the racism going on and there were times where I would hate myself because I’m white and my ancestors treated African Americans this way. Absolutely disgusting
They seek to keep black women fueling these billion dollar Asian (and foreign) hair weave/beauty supply industries.. There's big money in your self hate..
No different from banning straight hair, it’s absolutely crazy. I am a hairstylist and I can vouch for the fact that straightening chemicals are amazingly toxic and harsh, you have to use gloves to even handle and people want to force children to use it 🤬 infuriating!!
He said the restrictions were geared towards boys but in my opinion boys should have the option to wear braids Afros or cornrows as well. Either way it was an attack on the black community.
Exactly! They might want to grow their hair out. The afro thing about afros being no longer than 2 inches really drives me crazy because, especially for black men, that's how their hair grows out. So they're supposed to not let it grow naturally? This makes me so angry.
WTM Love If that was the case they would have specified grooming. Natural hair is well groomed BTW even locs for your information. They were very specific in what they didn't want which targeted indigenous natural hair styles from, local, and braids...
I've seen lice filled, dirty, unkempt Caucasian hair but nothing banning their natural hair other than lice treatment Using the term "Natural" is stupid since that is what naturally grows out my head and you can't tell me my natural state is not acceptable. Then to add insult to injury specified " only" indigenous aboriginal so called black/ African styles are not acceptable. If this was about clean and well kept hair they wouldn't have added specific styles identified with so called black/African aboriginal people. I will never be ok with this kind of attack on the original man and woman period.
I am all for modesty in dress and grooming but I cannot agree with this schools policy on natural black hair. None of that makes sense at all. Natural is beautiful! I LOVE it when I see it embraced!

The fact that you immediately assumed that I made that statement in an effort to validate anyone, especially your idea that I'm trying to validate them because I'm white and they're not, just shows how insecure you are and how likely it is that you aren't emotionally stable.

I feel so bad that this has been such a problem for so many years. I love seeing black women wearing their hair natural because I know how empowering that is for them, to go against a society that has told you for so long that your hair is ugly. No one should make you feel ashamed for what you were naturally given! Moreso, for what your race was naturally given. Everyone should be able to wear their hair however they want. And if kids at the school have a problem with her hair because they "can't see", they can sit in a different seat.

A similar story happened to one of my classmates in my old school. So one day in class my WHITE teacher told a BLACK STUDENT WHO HAD DREADLOCKS told him he couldn’t where them because they were distracting and saying he was playing with them EVEN THOUGH HE WASN’T also there’s girls who always plays with their hair but the teacher never said anything but the next day he didn’t show up come to find out he switched schools. Yea I wouldn’t want my kid to be in a racist school either
I'm white and that still feels like a personal attack. Hair styles are so diverse now that nothing is really distracting. Everybody is pretty used to seeing all kinds of styles and hair colors. LOL.
That’s just because it only distracts the teachers, not the students. The students are generally cool with just about anything pertaining to appearance. It’s those teachers who can’t accept progress!!
Dee Dish no that's not nice I don't hate white people I only dislike the people who are prejudice and it sounds like you're being prejudice but they are wrong for trying to change the natural texture of our hair and telling us how to style it it cost money to straighten your hair it cost money to put weave in it and if they're going to give us a pay differential of 500 more dollars hell I weave my hair every two weeks because that's what it's going to take
I wish my mf school would! With all them crazy ass colors people put in their hair, piercings all over their damn faces and you gone tell me I can't wear my natural hair?! FOH✌👉👉🚪
The policy didn't even say no natural hair, it just said no dreadlocks, no colours and no plaits for boys. Those things aren't natural, but I do object to all of those things.

I was just reading it and thinking that it was directed at black boys. Corn rolls, wtf that is, aren't a neat hair style really? Clear attack on black children they should be ashamed.
Exactly! If a guy wants to have some nice cornrows, let him!
I caught that too. The reporter should have called him out on it.
Ban on Afros bigger than 2 inches???
That’s an insult to Bob Ross.
Idk if that's even an afro at that point
@VenusGhost bob ross does not have an Afro he has a perm
Mhm
And all POC 😌 as a black girl I was PISSED. REAL PISSED.
Like bruh what? Like our hair literally only sticks up when it’s two inches like?? That’s not even an afro? That means I can’t cut and wear my hair as it is because it’s banned like... um...
Me : *showing up at that school with cornrows *
Teacher : excuse me young lady did you not read the policy on cornrows.
Me : ma'am you said no cornrolls these are cornrows🙄
Nala Seku I’m dead lol 😂

That don’t make any damn sense. The policy wasn’t directed towards females, JUST the males?? How is that any better?
Yeah it doesn't make any sense at all! I would never as an educator or principal make such ridiculous rules about hair or style. You do you sweet heart and if someone has a problem with it, stand up for yourself and report it.
@General Too But how does hair and clothing relate to being in a gang or gang activity? Please explain to me with logic. How does one's appearance mean that they are in a gang?
The Clairvoyant you sir donr understand curly hair is fragile and these hairstyles protect it so your comment is invalid
General Too The idea wasn’t to “keep the children out of gangs”. That’s never stated even ONCE in this video. They clearly stated in the video, if you even watched it, that the policy was made because the school and staff thought the kids hair was “unkempt” and “untidy”.
They specifically directed the policy towards NATURAL HAIR. Never stated that the kids are in gangs 😂
Also, it seemed like these kids were all very well behaved and their parents were clearly in the video, showing concern about their kids not being able to wear their hair in natural hairstyles. So maybe you should think twice before speaking and don’t make such rude and ignorant assumptions.
Moov This person defended natural hair and the right to wear it. They never said that natural hairstyles do not protect natural hair, so how is your comment relevant here?
Shouldn’t school’s be worrying about kid’s bringing guns to school’s, not a girl’s hair style who hasn’t hurt anyone.

…I thought dress codes were so the kids wouldn’t be distracted. Hair isn’t a distraction 🤔
The school I'll be going to girls (and I think guys) we can't have buzzed hair. And it can't be dyed
Maybe a neon mohawk should be banned, but braids aren't a problem
Hair isn’t a distraction isn’t a distraction at all, I wouldn’t be distracted if someone showed up with an 18th century wig!
really!!!!
@Kageyama’s Milk to be fair, sitting behind a tall AF mohawk is pretty annoying. I call it being considerate. If it's not the way it grows out of your head and it can block someone's view, tie it back. You can have a neon mohawk, but keep it in a ponytail during class. It's like a movie theater- don't block the view of the person behind you.

Schools please! Instead of worrying about what's on people's heads, how about worrying about what's in their heads!
Yup if I was in charge of a school I would be much more concerned about making sure kids are learning what they need to learn and have the tools they need to become the best they can be.
Both are equally important. The idea that natural hair is unkempt spreads to the workplace and it's discrimination at the end of the day. If we only worry about learning and grades but we don't fight discrimination then that is only half the battle. Once again, both are important. Just because it's just "hair" demeans the problem. That is like saying that there more important things to focus on-- but that's not the point. It's still a problem nonetheless.
clemente3472 just another means of control!

I've seen hair policies for white kids, but they were at a private school and only affected boys. Boys weren't allowed to have hair long enough to touch their ears or collars.

Ok I’m honestly so confused. How could natural African hair be the slightest bit of an issue? I’m not black, but I’m offended.
Yes.
its not, its just racism under the guise of "protecting students." you can even see it in the way they misspelled cornrows. they dont respect black hairstyles enough to even learn what the names of them are.
I can’t even see how unnatural hair colors are an issue, it isn’t distracting at all...
And then they said that it isnt a rule for females, only males, as if that makes it better 🤦🏼♀️

They get a high off feeling in control so they make irrelevant rules. If only they put this much energy into education.

Sounds like a pretty good lawsuit to me.
If I had a kid that had to do that I'd be pissed. Actually I have no kids & don't plan on any. But it still pisses me off. It's both racist & harmful to the kids.

i dont get why what your hair is styled like and think that the rules are stupid. BUT cornrows, braids, dreadlocks etc is NOT natural hair its a style you went and done to your hair. like i said though it shouldnt matter in school
Rob Gillan the point is when we wear our hair in its natural state we also put maintenance styles in or else you can comb it out into an afro, do twist outs, etc. So cornrows, braids, Locs are styles in which our natural hair can be neatly wore instead of all over our heads (not that its a bad thing) so yes, they ARE natural styles meant to keep the hair kempt.
you dont know what natural means, this is race baiting.

It's not about that it's about Society wants African American people to stay in this bubble that they can control Whenever However but a lot of black people are getting woke up that's what I say stay woke to everything that's going on in society and everybody's wearing their natural hair because this is the way that we used to wear hair in Africa when we were there and it's not okay to them they feel is though we should wear are hair straight and fall into every thing that everybody else is doing in order to fit in but that's not the case enough is enough everybody gets to do what they want you know we should be able to live in peace also but that's probably never going to happen

Yes i agree i am white and i feel like i feel there cultures pain because my hair is thicker than everyblack womens hair that i have met if i were to get a tan and die my hair black and then wore one of there most comment hairstiles being targeted i would. Still not be discriminated because im white they are huge racist
The fact that the dress code says no braids while the teacher crying her poor eyes out has braids in her hair 😐.
are red dresses part of AA culture?
Freedom of religion but you can not pick your own hair styles WTF !
Lise Taylor exactly we the people should not have rules about looks because we can not ever all look exactly the same we like diversity in our melting pot America !
Cant seem to have freedom of religion anymore either
@Lise Taylor I know about the Rastafari, I was just saying as far as certain work places taking the freedom of religion out like God and stuff! I know that's off topic but I thought that's what the guy was talking about
marzinjedi as long has the hair is at a reasonable length any hair style should be better ok everywhere
Unless its a religion they don't like.
New rule: "Hair must be well-groomed, well-kept, and at a reasonable length."
Einstein: *AYAYAYAYAY*
EXACTLYYYYY❣
BAHAHAHAHA!!!! I'm dying!!!
Ayyy
*posing into fabulous pose*
Einstein had Uncombable Hair Syndrome which is a recognized genetic anomaly.
How are you going to ban something that grows out of someone’s head 🤦🏾♀️ #blackInAmerica 🤷🏾♀️
Zameria Jones not just black. Ive has same issue. Because my hair is very thick, long and wavey. It was consideres a distraction and i was told to cut it and make it straight
I just said the same thing 🤷.... How??
Its crazy.
Zameria Jones right?😩😤😤😤
I hope you told them to kiss your ass.....
"When I look at myself I feel like a princess"
that's because you ARE a princess! and you keep being one you absolute star!
She should’ve worn cornrows and say “that says corn rolls these are cornrows”
YESS
MissMaddy 14 lmao👏🏾👏🏾
MissMaddy 14 Yes!! That would have been the perfect answer.
This reminds me of when a friend of mine had a pentagram on his binder (being the edgy kid that he was) and the teachers made a fuss about it. He told them it was his religion and they shouldn't discriminate. They about shit themselves, apparently tried to apologize to him, and said they never meant to offend. What's funny is he's not religious at all.
I think someone definitely should have directly challenged them like that. It would have been hilarious.
Yeaaaa
I'm glad she put it on social media. It would not have made a change if she didn't
MyInnerGoddess T exactly
She embarrassed them.
Natural hair isn't a trend or a political statement. It's just the hair that I was born with and there's nothing I can do about it without damaging my hair.
Geeky Winse exactly
Actually if you dont ever come your hair and you leave it in its natural from it will dread
black hair naturally locks without manipulation, thus forming dreads even with no effort after months. educate yourself before you spew ignorance.
Victoria R No, it will matte. Dreads, to be right, have to be groomed. Learn a bit more.
Sandy Geffrard It still has to be groomed to be correct. Before you go crazy...experience!
I’m white, but I absolutely hate this! If I’m going to be honest when I was younger I hated that I didn’t have this hair this curly or beautiful. As a kid I was really aware of the racism going on and there were times where I would hate myself because I’m white and my ancestors treated African Americans this way. Absolutely disgusting
Ban natural hair allow guns.. yes makes sense...
They seek to keep black women fueling these billion dollar Asian (and foreign) hair weave/beauty supply industries.. There's big money in your self hate..
Mobbin4theArt -Self hate. I wear weaves and I love myself. What.
Cherry Love bless you you get it
Yeah but this is about school.... not outside of school
I didn't know they allowed guns in American highschools
"No male may dye, tint or high light his hair in any way" hmmm....
Me sitting over here with a half braided man bun that’s blue and red
I smell sexism
Me with bright turquoise hair
(The name's because this is my sister's account)

Me with bright blonde hair: 👁👄👁
Everyone should have worn those braided George Washington wigs
LMAOOO
Creative protest that would have been AMAZING to see. Just a buncha kids running around with George Washington hair!! Bahahahaha!!!!
C&C Phx I would dieeeeeee😂😂😂
Like Spongebob’s random ass wig?
C&C Phx 😂😂😂😂
No different from banning straight hair, it’s absolutely crazy. I am a hairstylist and I can vouch for the fact that straightening chemicals are amazingly toxic and harsh, you have to use gloves to even handle and people want to force children to use it 🤬 infuriating!!
He said the restrictions were geared towards boys but in my opinion boys should have the option to wear braids Afros or cornrows as well. Either way it was an attack on the black community.
Anything else is DISCRIMINATION.
Very sexist of them....
Exactly! They might want to grow their hair out. The afro thing about afros being no longer than 2 inches really drives me crazy because, especially for black men, that's how their hair grows out. So they're supposed to not let it grow naturally? This makes me so angry.
Ruben Martinez explain
@Ruben Martinez so do white people it's not like out hair can be like yalls where it grows and falls to the sides.
“Cornrolls” wtf
Edit: I would go to school with cornrows and say it’s not a corn roll I think it’s fine
😂😂😂💯
Sounds like something I would do too!😂😂
Same
The people who made that dress code need to learn something, cornrows are a type of hairdo. Cornrolls are a food.
@Dee Dish If that is your opinion, why are watching this video in the first place? Are you the principal of that school? 😂
@Dee Dish It's also called culture appreciation, if you can't do that then you're stuck in the wrong time period
As a mom of a mixed child i am proud of my baby's curly hair, i will make sure to teach her to be proud of herself and her heritage.
Why can't a guy have long hair?
MelloDees that's Aladdin from magi?
MelloDees that's Aladdin from magi?
No reason why NOT!!!
The fact that there are black men and women behind this policy is even more disappointing.
Kyra Wesley boule
WTM Love
If that was the case they would have specified grooming. Natural hair is well groomed BTW even locs for your information. They were very specific in what they didn't want which targeted indigenous natural hair styles from, local, and braids...
I've seen lice filled, dirty, unkempt Caucasian hair but nothing banning their natural hair other than lice treatment
Using the term "Natural" is stupid since that is what naturally grows out my head and you can't tell me my natural state is not acceptable. Then to add insult to injury specified " only" indigenous aboriginal so called black/ African styles are not acceptable. If this was about clean and well kept hair they wouldn't have added specific styles identified with so called black/African aboriginal people. I will never be ok with this kind of attack on the original man and woman period.
WTM Love wtf are you rambling on about. All they had to do was make sure it said neat groom hair. They did not have to specify certain hair styles.
Kyra Wesley I thought the same thing
I am all for modesty in dress and grooming but I cannot agree with this schools policy on natural black hair. None of that makes sense at all. Natural is beautiful! I LOVE it when I see it embraced!
What kind of nurse are you?
RN means registered nurse...
Lol I know I'm asking her specialty, I'm not stupid...
I am specialized in corrections and with the disabled. I have a little Hannah of my own,too ;)
+RawVeganGoddess yes💯
Oh my gosh I met Ashanti! She’s a wonderful person. I met her on a Google meet when she came as a guest speaker. She and her mom are very powerful ladies! 👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻👊🏾👊🏿
this is a serious issue. stop treating black women like this. leave our hair alone.
FACTS
I'm CONVINCED that the hair products in stores re formulated to keep our hair short and breaking.
Ruben Martinez what do you mean “exaggerate”?!
Ruben Martinez if someone wants to have 15 in straight hair (which is highly uncommon and white girls can do it as well) let them have it. And puffy hair is natural, so.....
Ummm, it's not just about black women. It's about black men as well.
Dyed hair is something else but this?
Instead, focus on gun control and the mental health of your students than their hair.
And you won the internet for the year, lol.
Yesssss I agree with you 💯
Of course!!!!
right, even my school let's kids dye their hair
Gotta keep the distractions going cause maybe people are going to figure out education system is broken in the US - all the minor issues becoming major issues and visa versa - lol
The school should never reference style or length. They should be more concerned about education and paying their teachers better salaries.
they did reference length. 2" afros
@@TheLochs
They are still out of line. They should not get a vote on length or hairstyles. However, they are free to address lice!
@armagedon026 - Not in the innercities. Brown kids get shot by other brown kids often.
@@nope........... not shooting up schools tho
@@Ghetsuga Wrong. Brown kids have been shot in school- and on school grounds- by other brown kids. Killers get tokens so long as they don't do their killing in a school df?
Beautiful and articulate girl I don't think any school should have the right to tell you what hair style you can have
This woman in the black hat with the curls - her hair looks awesome to me. The whole look she's got going in that outfit is so cute.
queenbeethatme100 wow. That while response was uncalled for. I didn't say that het hair was pretty because it's textured or ethnic. I just said it was pretty. The fact that you immediately assumed that I made that statement in an effort to validate anyone, especially your idea that I'm trying to validate them because I'm white and they're not, just shows how insecure you are and how likely it is that you aren't emotionally stable.
People like to hear it when they have great hair, whether they're black, white, Asian, or native American. When your hair looks cute, its nice to hear it. End of story. Chill tf out.
TheWrestlingPalace thank you. I hope your day is also wonderful. 💚
Bitch you have an “i only fuck black dudes” hair cut fuck outta here coco
John Doe how moronic are you? I'm not into white men because... what? Because I have almost no pigment in my hair and skin? Or because the only parts of my hair that are visible are curled? You realize that plenty of white people have curly hair, don't you? Go pick up a book and maybe try to pick up a little class while you're at it. You've just made yourself look so pathetically ignorant. By the way, I'm married to a white man, jackass.
They still haven't learned!!!! smh!!!
I feel so bad that this has been such a problem for so many years. I love seeing black women wearing their hair natural because I know how empowering that is for them, to go against a society that has told you for so long that your hair is ugly. No one should make you feel ashamed for what you were naturally given! Moreso, for what your race was naturally given. Everyone should be able to wear their hair however they want. And if kids at the school have a problem with her hair because they "can't see", they can sit in a different seat.
Sending you lots of love!
Facts!!
Al H would you rather I go around and make fun of black people for their hair? I have no white guilt, because I have done nothing wrong. Nice try, but playing the victim doesn't work with me.
+chinkilla Yes you are a proud white person who empowers other races and doesn't judges because you and other ppl know that every races has problems but should be proud of them self and others around keep on spreading powerful words and don't let rude ppl get you down
chalanda john thank you so much, we all need to work on spreading the peace in this world. Much love to you
Cornroll is something we bring to the cookout, and damn is it good. Cornrows are braids.😂💀
😂🤣
That might have been an autocorrect fail but then they should have proofread it before they distributed it because it looks pretty ignorant. Growing up in South East London everyone always called them canerows rather than cornrows.
@@rachelhart3531 idk why they called them canerows. It looks nothing like rows of sugar cane lol but it does look like rows of corn on a cob. If they were racist slaveholders they could have just asked the people what they called them. Then we would all have the appropriate term instead of the one given by the people enslaving Africans.
Ggug
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Good one!!!
A similar story happened to one of my classmates in my old school. So one day in class my WHITE teacher told a BLACK STUDENT WHO HAD DREADLOCKS told him he couldn’t where them because they were distracting and saying he was playing with them EVEN THOUGH HE WASN’T also there’s girls who always plays with their hair but the teacher never said anything but the next day he didn’t show up come to find out he switched schools. Yea I wouldn’t want my kid to be in a racist school either
I'm white and that still feels like a personal attack. Hair styles are so diverse now that nothing is really distracting. Everybody is pretty used to seeing all kinds of styles and hair colors. LOL.
Exactly. You'd be hard pressed to "shock" someone with a hairstyle today lol
That’s just because it only distracts the teachers, not the students. The students are generally cool with just about anything pertaining to appearance. It’s those teachers who can’t accept progress!!
Inkdraft tell the school that because apparently they haven't acclimated to the different hairstyles that black girls are wearing
Dee Dish no that's not nice I don't hate white people I only dislike the people who are prejudice and it sounds like you're being prejudice but they are wrong for trying to change the natural texture of our hair and telling us how to style it it cost money to straighten your hair it cost money to put weave in it and if they're going to give us a pay differential of 500 more dollars hell I weave my hair every two weeks because that's what it's going to take
Dee shut up. You probably aren't even Black, smh.
I wish my mf school would! With all them crazy ass colors people put in their hair, piercings all over their damn faces and you gone tell me I can't wear my natural hair?! FOH✌👉👉🚪
Fr imma take a knee
Heaven Onley at my school I see some white kids dyed their hair
Heaven Onley EXACTLY WTFWTF
The policy didn't even say no natural hair, it just said no dreadlocks, no colours and no plaits for boys. Those things aren't natural, but I do object to all of those things.
dawn khader it said “no Afros over 2inches” that’s natural hair and Afros aren’t that short
i would’ve came to to school the next day with freshly braided *CORNROWS*
Kasey Hammons lmao
Kasey Hammons and be like you said no Cornrolls not cornrows💀💀
Liyah's Tea fr tho
Cornrolls*
that would have been awesome!!
"No cornrolls"
Slowely puts away my roll of corn
