[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what the OP was referring to either until this popped up on my news feed. Really Texas?

A Black student’s family sues Texas officials over his suspension for his hairstyle

I would think this code disproportionately affects non-black students. Generally speaking, black hair is very curly and grows up and out, while people with straight hair have it grow down. You're more likely to have hair grow past eyebrows and ears with straight hair vs very curly hair. [/quote]

This is not how human beings decide their hairstyles ffs. Your hair is not disproportionately long to the US population because it's straight. God the stupid.[/quote]

This is a policy to punish Black students.

Here’s the kid’s hair:

So disruptive.  :roll: [/quote]

+1. When i first read about the case i thought he had dreadlocks to his knees or something like that. This hairstyle is great, akin to having very short hair. The kid has been suspended from school for weeks now notwithstanding a new law in texas that ban discrimination based on ethnic  hair style. [/quote]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this hairstyle - it is beautiful.  Authoritarianism doesn't belong in schools.[/quote]

Schools should not be policing hair styles at all. Einstein had long hair. Da Vinci had long hair. Jesus Christ had long hair.

Do you know who had short hair? Hitler.

Hair styles change and evolve with each generation. Different ethnicities have different kinds of hair. Every culture has its own preferences.

The only reason schools ever choose to enforce some arbitrary hair rule is because a dominant social group wants to exert authoritarian rule over a minority group of some kind. It is nothing but a power play. It should be resisted.

Plus, being embarrassed by your high school hair style is part of the American experience. Should we really save people from themselves? Twenty years from now, an entire generation of American men are going to look back at pictures of their broccoli hair cuts. And they will shudder in shame and embarrassment. Who are we to deny them that experience?   [/quote]
