At work:
I agree that there should be standards, especially when an employee is in contact with the public. I DO NOT understand why African American hair is deemed offensive, unprofessional, unkempt and inapropriate. This is the hair I was born with. End of story.
At school:
If a student's hair was so dirty that they had lice or some other parasite, action should be taken because it puts the other childeren at risk, which is something that used to go on in my predominately white elementary school all the time.
If this is a private school, these childeren PAY to be there. The shcool needs to realize that their policy is culturally biased and adjust it.
I'm surprised that this girl is the first to wear cornrows.
