It's not come crazy distracting hairdo. I've seen it on a lot of black guys, so I'm not sure what the rub is. Yeah, the probably just don't want a black kid at the school, but they can't say that, so they target his hair.

Check the link I posted - they HAVE black kids at the school.

It may be specified as a dress code violation for boys, but I'll bet it isn't a violation for girls to wear their hair likewise.

Christ, don't you people read links??
Quote:Girls should have uniform skirt, button down embroidered shirt, cross tie, with black shoes and socks. Girls may wear post earrings – No hoops or other jewelry. Hair should be neat with no unnatural color.
But it’s immaterial anyway, as the child was clearly NOT denied admission based on his race.

The policy itself is racist. This is hidden racism. A school makes a uniform policy and grooming policy that is Eurocentric, based on White European standards. It doesn't allow Black people to wear their hair naturally. These schools are living in the past. I definitely agree it is an example of racism, but since its a private school they have the right to be racist at the end of the day.

Dreadlocks are not ‘natural’. The armed services don’t allow people - regardless of ethnicity - to wear their hair naturally. Is this a racist policy?

It's a utilitarian policy. Most of the regs about hair have to do with chem/bio equipment and general safety. They may not be particularly well informed, but that's the ultimate justification. That said, in my branch, we were all encouraged to wear mohawks..which suited me just fine. I'd have loved it if they let me wear that imperial mullet..i'd have kept it braided real nice.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

So, rules and regulations regarding hair styles are not necessarily racist. Thank you.

OFC not, though comments regarding eurocentrism are firmly rooted in reality and it is, unfortunately, a form of latent racism.

Well we are talking about a school here not the armed forces.
But since you mentioned it, what do you mean that people aren't allowed to wear their hair naturally in the armed forces regardless of ethnicity?
The natural texture of Black people's hair is coiled. If a Black person straightens their hair, with chemicals, straighteners or other means, then it is no longer wearing naturally.
How does this situation apply to us non-Black people?
