Richmond women suspended for hair styles

[REE1993]

I cannot see anything inappropriate to either of those ladies' hairstyles. They both look neat and well-put together.

Now, I hate the play the race card, but could this be discrimination? I know that people of different races can have different textures of hair - coarse and dry, thick and pin straight, naturally curly, etc., and sometimes there is not a whole lot that you can do with it. I am white, btw.

I don't think either of these are extreme. In fact I would think braids would be perfect for a correctional facility. It keeps the hair close to the head so that any disorderly inmates cannot grab on to your hair and pull you down.
