I don't have a problem with difference of opinion as to hair as long as there is some consistency. If I can't wear braids, then Suzie can't come in with pink and purple hair. If a school, especially a private school, has consistent grooming and uniform standards, then they probably aren't running afoul of the law by saying no cornrows - but a public worker might have more reason to complain or sue, but it still might depend on policies and past practices - I think some police departments have been successful in banning braids and twists but a public office worker that doesn't wear a uniform might be treated differently. P.S., I have my own business and I don't allow employees to wear cornrows in my office because I think they are unprofessional - just like "unemployed" nails with everything except monopoly pieces glued to them, but some white folks play their cards by allowing every form of dress and hair under the sun and then they stumble over their words trying to explain why a black hair style offends them.
