re: School in gretna bans weaves

To play devils advocate..
Last time we had a thread like this, the exact opposite was happening. A black girl got in trouble for wearing her natural hair. She had curly hair, which on black girls grows into a kinky fro. If I recall, the school didn’t have a policy on hair length for girls with straight hair but they were measuring the curly black girl’s hair outwards since that’s how it naturally grows.quote:
Many here said “rules are rules” and stated that the girl’s natural curly fro was disruptive. Now we are implying weave is disruptive and that the girl’s should wear their hair natural. Which don’t get me wrong.. Brazilian hair down past your butt can be a bit much.
It’s just interesting that so much goes into hair.
That was a completely different issue and different rule involving nursing students. Nurses have different rules regarding hair, nails, etc., due to health and cleanliness concerns.
These are children we are talking about -- at a private school.

Then say that. Why ban extensions? You can have extensions, or weaves, or sew-ins that are neither crazy or distracting.
Because prior to this year much of it was left up to the administration's discretion. They probably got tired of making determinations and went with one straightforward policy:
quote:
Boys’ hairstyles may not cover their ears, eyebrows, or collar of their uniform shirts.
? Boys’ haircuts must be conventional: wedges, shaved heads, uneven cuts, shaved sides with longer tops, bowl cuts, tails, or lines showing in the hair will not be permitted.
? All haircuts must be blended, with no line or marked difference permitted.
? Boys and girls: only natural hair color is permitted: highlighting, dyeing, or any change in natural color is not permitted.
? Boys and girls: only the student’s natural hair is permitted. Extensions, wigs, hair pieces of any kind are not allowed.
? Girls’ hairstyles may not cover their eyebrows. (Headbands, barrettes, ribbons, etc. may be used by girls to hold hair back from the face.)
? Neither boys nor girls are allowed to spike their hair (faddish) or have sections of shaved hair.
? Boys are not allowed to have facial hair (mustaches, beards, sideburns below mid-ear, goatees, etc.)
? Students who do not adhere to the standards of Christ the King School will be sent home or given a specified amount of time for correction as deemed appropriate by the principal.

LOL, "Crazy, distracting hairstyles" is rather subjective and unenforceable. There have to be objective rules.

I don't agree with every single rule my kid's school has, but I agree to follow them. If something were to come up that I disagreed with, I'll pick up the phone and call the school office...not blast them on the internet.
Parents should've read the school handbook. The rule is pretty cut and dry.
The guy’s Facebook post indicates that he had discussions with the administration and they effectively told him “tough”.
Somehow, I suspect that if your kid’s school inacted some policy that arbitrarily made it tougher on some kids and your kid happened to be one of those affected, you wouldn’t just say, “oh well, sucks to be me”.
quote:
And the archdiocese school superintendent said the school notified the parents last week that the girl's hair wasn't in compliance and yet they sent her back to school Monday with hair that wasn't in compliance with the rules. How is it the school's fault that the parents didn't read the handbook and then didn't fix the issue over the weekend after they were notified by the school last week?
If you have a decent stylist you’re not getting in with that person on a couple days notice.
Besides, the timing really isn’t even relevant. The guy’s beef is that it’s a dumb, arbitrary rule that affects primarily black girls. If they don’t want crazy styles it’s pretty easy to define that with just a little bit of thought.

It’s like they believe that kids can’t have crazy styles with hair that they’ve grown.

Yeah, probably, but that's what happens in schools these days.
Having a zero tolerance policy is much easier to enforce than subjective stuff. Imagine if this girl was sent home and there was no explicit ban on weaves/extensions. The shitstorm would be even worse.

I was in planet fitness parking lot the other day in Birmingham, and there was weave hair, and weave debris EVERYWHERE on the ground. There must've been a major hood-rat rumble there the night before. It was unbeweavable.
My kids went to Vestavia here in Birmingham. We received videos every year from our kids of black girls fighting. Apparently, grabbing the weave is the first, go-to ghetto move.

Well yeah. School has the rule clearly spelled out in their handbook and he's mad they won't change the rule for him.
Boys and girls: only the student’s natural hair is permitted. Extensions, wigs, hair pieces of any kind
are not allowed.

quote:Makes it much harder to enforce when you need to have administrators making judgment calls on what's too crazy and what's not. Then you're going to end up with problems because a parent might not think their kid's hairstyle is "crazy" but school might think it is. Or the whole "but so-and-so was allowed to have their hair a certain way" argument. Objective rules are so much easier to enforce and prevent accusations of discrimination or favoritism if one kid's style is allowed but someone else's isn't.
If they don’t want crazy styles it’s pretty easy to define that with just a little bit of thought.

Private school but they are asking for it.

the biggest issue is that it was changed over the summer and he thinks it literally was changed for his kid

you can wear wigs, weaves and extensions at public schools?
This is acceptable there?

You are mistaken. There were rules limiting the length and overall size of hair on all nurses.
The woman in question’s hair was too large to be easily secured in order to ensure a sterile environment.
Had a white woman had too long of hair, she would have been told to cut it or get out just the same.
