The fight for equality continues. ✊🏽 It is not difficult to see that Black peoples hair is unique and requires corresponding maintenance. Not to mention the religious ties to having dreaded hair. And of course the double-standard, if a girl can learn with hair flowing down her back then so can a boy. There is no reason for the continued perpetuation that Caucasian hair styles are the ideal or standard. If you are confused as to why Black hair is different then educate yourself before engaging in discourse. The excuse, “that’s how it’s always been done” or “I don’t know what the big deal is” is based in ignorance and therefore it is unacceptable as a counterpoint. Stop policing Black hair and forcing assimilation!!! Time and resources would be better served figuring out how to increase teacher salaries, make lunches free for all, equal distribution of school supplies & resources, increased ratio of social workers & counselors per student …. So many more important things to worry about.
