School in gretna bans weaves

Christ the King is a private school.

They can simply choose to pay for another private school if they do not agree with the policy.

I don’t think that was the schools aim.

Those folks probably live in them shite Deerfield apartments that even 20 years ago was the one shithole (besides those shitholes off Behrman) that was ~50% of the crime in Terrytown.

Time to tear down moar statues....

It's very simple: when you go to a private school you abide by their rules or you leave. You know that going into it. If you don't like it, leave. No one is barring her from an education.

I was private schooled my entire life before attending LSU, and trust me, there were dress code rules I hated, and that my mother used to bitch about ("...all tennis shoes must be at least 80% white in color with only blue, red, and black accent colors allowed...).

In high school, we weren't allowed to grow out our hair, or color it, or put weight lines in it, we couldn't wear too much hair product in it. We had to shave daily if necessary. Hell, there were a few occasions I was given the option to take a single blade razor and bar of soap and go shave in the bathroom, or be sent home and be given lunch duty.

We knew the rules. Period. This is no different. If this school allowed white girls to wear extensions, but not black girls, then there would be an issue, but if it's applied uniformly to all students, then there's no problem.

And for the dumb shite posters on that guy's post who say this school is terrible for making that girl feel ugly, why don't we address the black community making girls feel like they need to alter their natural hair to look beautiful? No? They don't want to have that discussion. It's much easier to cry racism.

It's pretty shitty if they put it in as a new policy over the summer. I tend to agree with the guy on this one.

It does seem to be a new rule that only affects the black children.

West Bank staying strong. I approve.

He says the girl has been going to the school for 2 years and wore hair extensions without any issue and he accuses the school of sneaking that in as a new policy over the summer without telling anyone. That seems fishy. I'd be willing to bet that the policy never changed and the school just never realized it was a weave up until now.

My kid goes to Catholic school too. Every year at parent orientation they send a form home with us that parents and students all have to sign and turn in that says we've read and understand the school handbook. That handbook has an entire section dedicated to uniform/dress code, hair styles, jewelry and accessories.

I went to a catholic high school in the 90's and had frosted tips in my hair over the summer and it wasn't all grown out by start of school. They told me I'd be sent home if I came back to school the next day with any of the blonde still showing. Rules against fake hair and/or highlights in catholic schools have been in effect for at least 25-30 years...probably longer.

Boom!
