NATURAL HAIR UNDER FIRE IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM
10:57:00 AM
A high school in Louisville, Kentucky is now under fire when a parent of an incoming sophomore posted pages from the school's new dress code, which is banning 3 of the most popular hair styles for women with natural hair. Attica Scott, whose daughter attends Butler Traditional High School, posted the photos on her Twitter account
Let's stop
focusing on hair and hair style and focus on the quality of education in the
school system. Let's focus on bullying and suicide rates in teens. Let's focus
on the rate of high school students going to college. There are just so many
more things to focus on then how my natural hair is styled, colored and bejewelled.
And what's
worst is to put this in writing and focusing on this as if this is an issue,
creating a hatred for natural hair under a spot light is harmful in so many
ways. Now that you've crushed this little girl’s poor fragile self-esteem and self-love,
how do you plan on repairing this? Now that you've created an environment where
her natural hair is the source of amusement and discussion upon other students,
which can lead to bullying, how do you plan on repairing this?
All I have to say is SHAME ON YOU, Butler Traditional
High School in Louisville, Kentucky!
