@Sammy Slaughter exactly. They want everybody to look the same and feel the same so kids can all get jobs they hate when they get older. Schools that don't welcome individuality are setting kids up for boring, meaningless lives.
@Sammy Slaughter but this is just a hair issue. Well groomed kids, cause educating our future leaders and great minds is the priority goal not individualism and personal feelings. People blowing in out of porportion. This is not a conspiracy scheme to take over the world by the higher elites.
Just know some of us appreciate your hair. I personally find it beautiful and have an appreciation for natural hair of African American women and children. It's simply gorgeous and unique imo
Whoa.. It says right there that guys can't have hair longer than their collar or afro over 2 inches, but you want to pretend it only targets black girls? Reading comprehension not your strong point, eh?
@Kageyama’s Milk to be fair, sitting behind a tall AF mohawk is pretty annoying. I call it being considerate. If it's not the way it grows out of your head and it can block someone's view, tie it back. You can have a neon mohawk, but keep it in a ponytail during class. It's like a movie theater- don't block the view of the person behind you.

@General Too But how does hair and clothing relate to being in a gang or gang activity? Please explain to me with logic. How does one's appearance mean that they are in a gang?
General Too The idea wasn’t to “keep the children out of gangs”. That’s never stated even ONCE in this video. They clearly stated in the video, if you even watched it, that the policy was made because the school and staff thought the kids hair was “unkempt” and “untidy”. They specifically directed the policy towards NATURAL HAIR. Never stated that the kids are in gangs 😂 Also, it seemed like these kids were all very well behaved and their parents were clearly in the video, showing concern about their kids not being able to wear their hair in natural hairstyles. So maybe you should think twice before speaking and don’t make such rude and ignorant assumptions.
Moov This person defended natural hair and the right to wear it. They never said that natural hairstyles do not protect natural hair, so how is your comment relevant here?
It’s not fair we get made fun of for wearing braids then if we wear our natural hair we look tacky if we wear straight hair we trying to look like them if we wear a weave or wig we are bald why can’t people let us be
Let's be real here teens mainly go to school because they have to. I honestly just wanted to see friends more than get educated lmao, I'm still smart tho
Courtney B Can't close our eyes and pretend racism don't exist. We have the right to wear our hair in its God given way and not be degraded or chastised for doing so. But yes, getting a good education is very important.
Anyone wanna talk about the misandry too? “No male may dye, tint, or highlight his hair in any way” “They male’s hair length must be kept at a reasonable length; hair no longer than the top of the shirt collar, above the eyebrows...” Imagine being both racist AND sexist
racism is here to stay, you can't ever not be a racist. One single thing you are a racist, one vote for a black president you are still a racist two votes for a black president you are still a racist. Minority people are getting doctorates in white hateology.
Mad respect for the mom standing up for her daughter…the lady asking “why didn’t you just wait to talk to the school the next day?” Well I mean…it’s indicative of a huge problem, I’m glad her mom shared and was able to bring awareness to this
The discrimination doesn't stop at black people,or even women. This country is run by people who are so narrow minded,so out of touch,that they are sexist, racist, and the like towards everyone in one way or another. I cant wait until the next generation takes their place.

That was my experience growing up in the 60’s and 70’s. My mother straighten our hair and she wore wigs. I decided to grow an Afro when I became a teen.
As a mother of a young beautiful melanated daughter, I feel the same way and I would have nationally put it out there also! Yes, mom you did a great thing, because of what YOU did, that ridiculous policy is no more! Thank you
No different from banning straight hair, it’s absolutely crazy. I am a hairstylist and I can vouch for the fact that straightening chemicals are amazingly toxic and harsh, you have to use gloves to even handle and people want to force children to use it 🤬 infuriating!!
I’m white, but I absolutely hate this! If I’m going to be honest when I was younger I hated that I didn’t have this hair this curly or beautiful. As a kid I was really aware of the racism going on and there were times where I would hate myself because I’m white and my ancestors treated African Americans this way. Absolutely disgusting
Right? How is my fro gonna keep other ppl from learning. I am black therefore my hair grows from my head differently than some other people. It is not political. It is part of my body as God intended.
So sorry for the continuity being disrupted here, but I reported that comment and it has been removed. As if the wording in the dress code wasn't offensive enough, some moron decided to be extra racist in the comments about the above video. You didn't miss anything :)
i dont get why what your hair is styled like and think that the rules are stupid. BUT cornrows, braids, dreadlocks etc is NOT natural hair its a style you went and done to your hair. like i said though it shouldnt matter in school
Rob Gillan the point is when we wear our hair in its natural state we also put maintenance styles in or else you can comb it out into an afro, do twist outs, etc. So cornrows, braids, Locs are styles in which our natural hair can be neatly wore instead of all over our heads (not that its a bad thing) so yes, they ARE natural styles meant to keep the hair kempt.
Student: *kicks someone down,calls them the N word,throws rock at their face,and tells them nobody wants them living* School: I will deal with them later *never gets on them* Student: *Says their true self,shaves head to support friend with cancer,exposes teacher bullying students,and brings service dog to school* School: You are in big trouble, you are going to I.S.S
These folks still just don't get it. Just because the principle and staff are Black, doesn't change anything. Your own people do the most damage, and I applaud the Mother who stood up for her daughter, and all the Parents who came in support. It's our natural hair, and should never have to be a polarizing and political statement. Stop colonizing thier minds and telling the babies that they aren't good enough.
I'm not black, but a POC, i've noticed black kids get picked on by other black kids about this type of subject. And both about being too African American or not African American enough.
None of us are black, we're brown firstly and secondly where do that come from... white supremacy, brown folks need to wake up and stop being a slave to white supremacy. Love yourself and your Beautiful people!
+NII STO SunkissedOriginal you are a slave to white supremacy because you have let it convince you that there is something wrong with being black. newsflash, white supremacy doesn't like brown either.
Me : *showing up at that school with cornrows * Teacher : excuse me young lady did you not read the policy on cornrows. Me : ma'am you said no cornrolls these are cornrows🙄
A similar story happened to one of my classmates in my old school. So one day in class my WHITE teacher told a BLACK STUDENT WHO HAD DREADLOCKS told him he couldn’t where them because they were distracting and saying he was playing with them EVEN THOUGH HE WASN’T also there’s girls who always plays with their hair but the teacher never said anything but the next day he didn’t show up come to find out he switched schools. Yea I wouldn’t want my kid to be in a racist school either
Oh my gosh I met Ashanti! She’s a wonderful person. I met her on a Google meet when she came as a guest speaker. She and her mom are very powerful ladies! 👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻👊🏾👊🏿
Yup if I was in charge of a school I would be much more concerned about making sure kids are learning what they need to learn and have the tools they need to become the best they can be.
Both are equally important. The idea that natural hair is unkempt spreads to the workplace and it's discrimination at the end of the day. If we only worry about learning and grades but we don't fight discrimination then that is only half the battle. Once again, both are important. Just because it's just "hair" demeans the problem. That is like saying that there more important things to focus on-- but that's not the point. It's still a problem nonetheless.
Maybe they are worrying about what's in their heads....hence the hair policies?! If it's to big other students are affected by it when it comes to taking notes on class off the board!
its not, its just racism under the guise of "protecting students." you can even see it in the way they misspelled cornrows. they dont respect black hairstyles enough to even learn what the names of them are.
And then they said that it isnt a rule for females, only males, as if that makes it better 🤦🏼♀️ Bruh we white People can litrally have hair down to our butt and nobody cares, its even consideret beautiful, but as soon as its about blacks natural hair they gotta straigten, iron or hide it? Hell nah, thats just fucking racist.
"our policy was always strictly for male students, there have never been restrictions for female students" *TWO SECONDS LATER* "All of our policy has always been for all of our students"
@@DarkKnightTrinity Probably a homophobic school worried it may make a male student 'gay' for any expression because its a southern state like Kentucky
@Pamela Moore unfortunately that is a predominantly black oriented school the lady had braids and the principal was black both interviewed saying it was for the boys.
If a white girl can wear her hair natural, so can black girls. I dont know why this is even “controversial” you should be able to love yourself as is. I damaged my hair because I was made to believe straight long hair was the only thing considered beautiful. I have learned to embrace my curly hair. EMBRACE YOUR NATURAL HAIR. FIND THAT SELF LOVE
Gabriella ballor Poor Gabriella, you’re so oppressed, aren’t you? Every country and every culture on the planet has a standard of beauty. Has an beauty ideal. You’re not oppressed because you don’t fit that standard or ideal. I don’t fit lots of standards or ideals around the world.
Next thing you know “Ma’am, you can’t wear that skin color to school” I’m not a person of color ,but I am Hispanic and have faced racial slurs and other harsh things . What more do they want . Natural hair is beautiful 🙄❤️
As someone who went to Iroquois High School in Louisville KY when this happened, I had no idea that this was a thing. There were a lot of people at my school with their natural hair, no one ever batted an eye at it. When I seen this on social media, I thought it was absolutely insane. I'd never seen anything like that implemented at Iroquois. Then again, Butler is the most respected and disciplined (polite way of saying they think they're better than everyone else, maybe the students don't think that, but the school itself absolutely) in the district. So I can't say I'm surprised that out of every school, it ended up being Butler who did something like this.
When I attended a boys grammar school in the UK back in the 50s, if certain teachers thought your hair was too long, they would throw half a crown at you and tell you to go into town and get your hair cut. (Half a crown was two shilings and six pence back then.)
boys get more money wtf this is wrong I hate people like this just thinking that we can't change the way that we r stand p for what matters we are girls we can do the same things we may look diffrent but we are all the same at the end of the day speek out for what is write
How can someone dislike these curly hairs....I am in so much love with them😍😍...I am an Indian and have straight hairs and I would absolutely love to have those beautiful curls
I am all for modesty in dress and grooming but I cannot agree with this schools policy on natural black hair. None of that makes sense at all. Natural is beautiful! I LOVE it when I see it embraced!
cashew+ My middle school had strict dressing rules. It was ridiculous, you couldn't have two-toned hair, and a bunch of others I couldn't remember. Happy I'm out of that school
X⃟x⃟SnowX⃟x⃟ I hate that....but at least you can still understand. Coloring isn't natural. However, styling what's already there is....and that's fucked up
I was just reading it and thinking that it was directed at black boys. Corn rolls, wtf that is, aren't a neat hair style really? Clear attack on black children they should be ashamed.
riikerman No one cares about your religious bullshit. Your religion isn't the only one out there. And it doesn't say to cover hair in every religion. And not everyone even follows a religion.
riikerman You need to research the cultural context in which this verse was written. The women who were uncovered in that time and place were the prostitutes. Its about not drawing attention to yourself but you shouldnt try to impose it on people of other faiths either.
did you read the policy they posted in the vid? it doesn't ban natural hair of any kind. it bans cornrows, twists and Mohawks and asks that afros be kept shorter than 2 inches. one of those hairstyles isn't even specific to blacks, and at no point does it say blacks natural hair is banned
@@regulardude3693 smh all of those hair styles are mostly worn by people who have natural hair. If the fro grows more than 2 inches...and they can't twist it...or braid it...then what else is there to do with it????????

@Marissa Johnson same rules should apply to all in this case thats why this rule is dumb and your right people practice different things in their culture like we can wear our hair any natural way we want in our culture
@@motherearth1763 Yes, the length is for all races. I'm Black and always had my hair in a bun, so I've never had to deal with it, but one guy (White) had the prettiest long hair, and they said he had to cut it or would be suspended until he did. It was so stupid. I also disagree with the afro one. I think that there should be a reasonable afro limit (like if your hair is waist length, at least put it in a bun so people behind them can see), but 4 or 5 inches isn't hurting anyone.
As a white teenager, I've shown up to class with messy hair that I've done absolutely nothing to. If that's not considered "untidy" then there is NO REASON WHATSOEVER that black teenagers that have had their hair done in cornrows or that have kept their natural hair should be considered more "messy" than mine. It's blatant racism and unfortunately it happens all the time. It's not right and no student or employee should have to stand for such discrimination. I don't care what people say about it because in my eyes, any type of discrimination based upon physical appearances are WRONG.
6:35-6:40 lol they'll also make assumptions on how badly they enunciate. And that idealism at the end is a joke; conformity is always pushed, why else are job interviews so full of crap?
I knew guys with shoulder length hair that didn't wash it but once every 2 weeks. It looked gross and no one ever told them to clean up. Targeting dreadlocks and cornrows seems a bit specific and like they were asking to get blown the fuck up.. They basically threw themselves down a flight of stairs and said it wasn't on purpose. xD
It's not about that it's about Society wants African American people to stay in this bubble that they can control Whenever However but a lot of black people are getting woke up that's what I say stay woke to everything that's going on in society and everybody's wearing their natural hair because this is the way that we used to wear hair in Africa when we were there and it's not okay to them they feel is though we should wear are hair straight and fall into every thing that everybody else is doing in order to fit in but that's not the case enough is enough everybody gets to do what they want you know we should be able to live in peace also but that's probably never going to happen
Can someone explain to why it's "normal" for the world be totally chill with profiting off of causing people identity and self esteem crises over things that are NATURAL??? WHY IS THIS A THING!?
I would have a field day with the "cornrolls" misspelling!! I would get everyone who could to wear cornrows to school all week. What rule would I be violating..?? Cornrows weren't on the list! Haha
Like what??? This is so stupid, im in LOVEEE with big kinky curls and afros its absolutely gorgeous how can someone not love the beautiful Style African women and men wear their hair.... I'm completely baffled. I grew up my whole life looking at black girls with their beautiful curls gorgeous gorgeous braids that they would have and be so jealous because they would rock it so elegantly
Just to piss them off show up with a cornrow, twist, a mohawk in the center etc as your hairstyle. --> I might have if my high school wrote these things in the dress code for hair.
How can you ban hair? That doesn’t make since. Even if the policy was written for male students, like how would dreads be distracting on a guy but not a girl. Poorly thought out for sure.
Zameria Jones not just black. Ive has same issue. Because my hair is very thick, long and wavey. It was consideres a distraction and i was told to cut it and make it straight
I'm happy that the school was okay with changing the policy and didn't go back and forth about what was right and what was wrong. That's something that shocked me because usually the school will argue about this and I like that they just were just like okay let's just change it, kids can wear their hair the way they want to.
Amen! I wear my natural hair every day. To work@ home. It's not ur hair its ur personality. God gave u natural hair wear it. It's yours!!!!! Praise the Lord!!🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ok now this hits home when the girl said it’s not about the hair it’s about feeling good in my own skin. I knew a girl who was African American and had gotten a severe self harm problem due to rules like this. It caused her to hate herself her skin color ,her natural hair ,her self. It was one of the saddest things ever because I’m in there cuz I’m depressed about fat something I could control and she’s in there can’t say not one nice thing about herself. And the biggest slap to the face was she’s a foster child being raised by a white family do you have any idea how much money her mother spent learning how to do theses banned styles to make her child feel good? Imagine getting your foster kid you prep ahead of time learning about there hair how to style it then get told by the community your natural hair is ugly please put on a wig? Shame on them

No different from banning straight hair, it’s absolutely crazy. I am a hairstylist and I can vouch for the fact that straightening chemicals are amazingly toxic and harsh, you have to use gloves to even handle and people want to force children to use it 🤬 infuriating!!

As a kid I was really aware of the racism going on and there were times where I would hate myself because I’m white and my ancestors treated African Americans this way. Absolutely disgusting

i dont get why what your hair is styled like and think that the rules are stupid. BUT cornrows, braids, dreadlocks etc is NOT natural hair its a style you went and done to your hair. like i said though it shouldnt matter in school
Rob Gillan the point is when we wear our hair in its natural state we also put maintenance styles in or else you can comb it out into an afro, do twist outs, etc. So cornrows, braids, Locs are styles in which our natural hair can be neatly wore instead of all over our heads (not that its a bad thing) so yes, they ARE natural styles meant to keep the hair kempt.
you dont know what natural means, this is race baiting.

School: I will deal with them later *never gets on them*
Student: *Says their true self,shaves head to support friend with cancer,exposes teacher bullying students,and brings service dog to school*
School: You are in big trouble, you are going to I.S.S
These folks still just don't get it. Just because the principle and staff are Black, doesn't change anything. Your own people do the most damage, and I applaud the Mother who stood up for her daughter, and all the Parents who came in support. It's our natural hair, and should never have to be a polarizing and political statement. Stop colonizing thier minds and telling the babies that they aren't good enough.
This isn't the first story I have heard like this where the principal was black.
well said!!
I'm not black, but a POC, i've noticed black kids get picked on by other black kids about this type of subject. And both about being too African American or not African American enough.

A similar story happened to one of my classmates in my old school. So one day in class my WHITE teacher told a BLACK STUDENT WHO HAD DREADLOCKS told him he couldn’t where them because they were distracting and saying he was playing with them EVEN THOUGH HE WASN’T also there’s girls who always plays with their hair but the teacher never said anything but the next day he didn’t show up come to find out he switched schools. Yea I wouldn’t want my kid to be in a racist school either
Oh my gosh I met Ashanti! She’s a wonderful person. I met her on a Google meet when she came as a guest speaker. She and her mom are very powerful ladies! 👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻👊🏾👊🏿
Schools please! Instead of worrying about what's on people's heads, how about worrying about what's in their heads!
Yup if I was in charge of a school I would be much more concerned about making sure kids are learning what they need to learn and have the tools they need to become the best they can be.
Both are equally important. The idea that natural hair is unkempt spreads to the workplace and it's discrimination at the end of the day. If we only worry about learning and grades but we don't fight discrimination then that is only half the battle. Once again, both are important. Just because it's just "hair" demeans the problem. That is like saying that there more important things to focus on-- but that's not the point. It's still a problem nonetheless.
clemente3472 just another means of control!
J Bridgers damn. ur stupid
Maybe they are worrying about what's in their heads....hence the hair policies?! If it's to big other students are affected by it when it comes to taking notes on class off the board!
Ok I’m honestly so confused. How could natural African hair be the slightest bit of an issue? I’m not black, but I’m offended.
Yes.
its not, its just racism under the guise of "protecting students." you can even see it in the way they misspelled cornrows. they dont respect black hairstyles enough to even learn what the names of them are.
I can’t even see how unnatural hair colors are an issue, it isn’t distracting at all...
And then they said that it isnt a rule for females, only males, as if that makes it better 🤦🏼♀️

As someone who went to Iroquois High School in Louisville KY when this happened, I had no idea that this was a thing. There were a lot of people at my school with their natural hair, no one ever batted an eye at it. When I seen this on social media, I thought it was absolutely insane. I'd never seen anything like that implemented at Iroquois. Then again, Butler is the most respected and disciplined (polite way of saying they think they're better than everyone else, maybe the students don't think that, but the school itself absolutely) in the district. So I can't say I'm surprised that out of every school, it ended up being Butler who did something like this.

When I attended a boys grammar school in the UK back in the 50s, if certain teachers thought your hair was too long, they would throw half a crown at you and tell you to go into town and get your hair cut. (Half a crown was two shilings and six pence back then.)

@@motherearth1763 Yes, the length is for all races. I'm Black and always had my hair in a bun, so I've never had to deal with it, but one guy (White) had the prettiest long hair, and they said he had to cut it or would be suspended until he did. It was so stupid. I also disagree with the afro one. I think that there should be a reasonable afro limit (like if your hair is waist length, at least put it in a bun so people behind them can see), but 4 or 5 inches isn't hurting anyone.
As a white teenager, I've shown up to class with messy hair that I've done absolutely nothing to. If that's not considered "untidy" then there is NO REASON WHATSOEVER that black teenagers that have had their hair done in cornrows or that have kept their natural hair should be considered more "messy" than mine.

I knew guys with shoulder length hair that didn't wash it but once every 2 weeks. It looked gross and no one ever told them to clean up. Targeting dreadlocks and cornrows seems a bit specific and like they were asking to get blown the fuck up.. They basically threw themselves down a flight of stairs and said it wasn't on purpose. xD
It's not about that it's about Society wants African American people to stay in this bubble that they can control Whenever However but a lot of black people are getting woke up that's what I say stay woke to everything that's going on in society and everybody's wearing their natural hair because this is the way that we used to wear hair in Africa when we were there and it's not okay to them they feel is though we should wear are hair straight and fall into every thing that everybody else is doing in order to fit in but that's not the case enough is enough everybody gets to do what they want you know we should be able to live in peace also but that's probably never going to happen

I knew a girl who was African American and had gotten a severe self harm problem due to rules like this. It caused her to hate herself her skin color ,her natural hair ,her self. It was one of the saddest things ever because I’m in there cuz I’m depressed about fat something I could control and she’s in there can’t say not one nice thing about herself. And the biggest slap to the face was she’s a foster child being raised by a white family do you have any idea how much money her mother spent learning how to do theses banned styles to make her child feel good? Imagine getting your foster kid you prep ahead of time learning about there hair how to style it then get told by the community your natural hair is ugly please put on a wig? Shame on them
