    I just spoke to this father. He has enrolled his son in a local public school that welcomed him with open arms. What's wild, is the school has pictures of white Jesus with....LONG HAIR below his ears.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1029754753373356032 …

    This is absolutely infuriating. This sharp young Black boy, clean as ever, gets kicked out of school because he has dreads. His father rightfully struggles to maintain his emotions at the disappointment of it all. pic.twitter.com/WOpUGLqg8l

        Public schools are one of the few institutions in this country that welcomes everyone, regardless of race, creed, religion, immigration status, income, hair color/style, gender...best wishes to the young man and his family for a great school year!

        I went to Christian school from 1st-12th w/same rules about hair-most have obsession w/pointless rules. & my edu was garbage: creationism = true/evolution = false, history & lit incl almost no female or POC perspectives, lit censored, no sex ed. I hope he loves his new school!!

        I did also. One of my most favorite rules was girls skirts could be 4 inches above the knee while boys shorts had to be at least 1 inch below the knee. We had some perverts writing that one I suspect...

        Ours was skirts/dresses to knees & shorts couldn’t be shorter than the bottoms of your fingers w/hands next to your sides. We all had to dress up for mandatory chapel on Wed. I almost forgot the corporal punishment-my little bro got spanked almost every day in 1st for talking 😢

        Then my parents would spank him again at home for getting in trouble at school. I really think that messed him up, he seriously hardly talks as an adult now 😳 that was a selling point to my parents for our school—spanking & religion 🤢

        Sorry if this got off topic. The rule about hairstyles is racist for sure! I guess my point is this little boy deserves a better education than this school could possibly give him. I have yet to find a Christian school that provides much beyond religious indoctrination.

        I was literally asking the same questions. It’s very common for boys to have long hair these days, you telling me there isn’t a white boy at that school with long hair?
