A Georgia elementary school removed photos of its hairstyle policy after a mother complained the dress code curbed self-expression.
An elementary school has removed photos of its hairstyle policy after complaints that the rules curbed self-expression and were a form of “racial profiling.”
Someone else commented, “No one is forcing anyone to attend this school. If you disagree with the dress code, please don't send your child to the school.” Other people shared their opinions on Twitter, stating that “racial profiling is still present” in schools. “I’m sick of students of color being targeted for living. Hair is hair! As black people hair is also apart of self expression...” reads the tweet. “...You cannot be culturally responsive and say this is RIGHT!”
— Ken Shelton August 2, 2019 A spokesperson for DeKalb County School District tells Yahoo Lifestyle that the photos are no longer on display.
