According to RT:
One day after a 12-year-old African American girl made national news for saying she was threatened with expulsion over her hairstyle, the school is backing down.
On Monday, Vanessa VanDyke said that Faith Christian Academy, a private school in Orlando, Florida, had given her a choice: either cut/style her large, naturally curly hair within a week or leave the school altogether.
I've worn trench coats and capes to school. My hair has been every color under the rainbow and styled to do all sorts of absurd things. The times teachers told me to remove my cape or snidely made comments about my hair, I made even more absurd claims back to them and pulled out school guideline books right in front of them to show them there was no mention of capes, no mention of hair colors...
Teachers and administrators think they can make rules as they go. They think they can control your kid and force them to submit to their commands. If you allow your kids to be subjugated they will be, if you teach them to stick up for themselves it will spread through the internet like wildfire and your rights will be upheld. Teach your kids yourself, don't think that schools are actually teaching them anything. They are indoctrinating them, not educating them.
