After reading the article it’s clear that they have policies that would affect both black and white hairstyles. So CNN can spare me the racial angle - though they can’t help it.
You're just pissed about the mullet part.

I love ironic mullets. Hate the ones that the guy actually thinks looks good.You're just pissed about the mullet part.
I don’t see how it’s legal to be honest. It’s a public school.
Yep, cancel, cancel, cancel. When you try to tell them that's canceling, they cancel you. This is the culture Repubs have created. Moving goal posts so they can cancel your field goal. What's the point of even kicking the ball now? But that's how they want you to think.
I assume it will be "updated" rather quickly. Article said they've already taken the handbook down from the admin's website.
It could affect 1,000 black kids, but as long as it also affects two or three white kids, then it affects both sides and it ain’t racist. Yes, I distinctly remember all the white kids with corn rows and hanging braids/twists when I was in high school. Yep, I remember both of them.
It is really easy to tell who did not read any of the article.
No one cares about your bumpkinville high school. Have you seen how many followers Kim k and her crew have?! Cool high schools the chicks are rowed out. White chicks!
I don't care about you or your goofy high school. I care about braids. It's the ultimate hot girl move. Are you a kid? A student or something. There was a reason Bo Derek was a Ten, well a few, but the rows were amazing
Hard to tell if your argument supports the racist thesis or not. We know Kim K blackfishes but do Texans?
I even heard there was this town that outlawed dancing! Ren told those city officials to get bent...and get Footloose!
Again, did you read the article? Hell, I posted a very pertinent part of the handbook that very specifically impacts white boys w.r.t. the same issue. You were baited into thinking this was a racial issue as opposed to a high school having exceptionally stringent restrictions on the haircuts for ALL boys, no matter their race. The rule does no disproportionately impact anyone by race.
You’re missing the point, maestro. It’s not about who it affects, black, white, green, or brown. If anything it’s all about affecting whites. That is, it’s all about making sure whites do not adopt black hip hop culture. It’s all about making white boys look like white boys are supposed to look.
By the way the assertion that CNN is making this racist is utter bullshit. The article quotes the ACLU rep who asserts what he asserts. You, my man, fell for IURanger’s bullshit hook, line and sinker.
You are off in left field. Hair below the eyebrows is hip hop culture? Hair below the tops of the ears is hip hop culture? Hair lower than the top of a normal collared shirt is hip hop culture? Hair that is an inch higher on top than the sides is hip hop culture?
“Braided hair or corn rows will not be allowed.”
Talk about not reading the whole article.
Length of hair less than one inch difference from side to top. You can't do cornrows without enough hair to get hold of. They appear to have the "Bob Knight" rule on haircuts, or a more military rule. They want it clean and tight on all the boys.
I’m all FOR banning mullets. If they have to ban braids too to be fair and non-discriminatory, so be it. Hell, if they have to close the school to end mullets, I’m OK with it.
Right. It's not just about this kid's dreads. It's about a whole bunch of styles, colors and the length restrictions on boys hair and dress.
They could ban rap music and the same people would be here saying it’s obviously not racist because the Beasty Boys, Vanilla Ice and Eminem are white. See, it impacts everyone.
I couldn't read the Chronicle article. Is this at Stepford High School?
They certainly expect good little Stepford students. The chronicle article is where I got the link to the entire dress code. Some of the restrictions in there are just so bizarre and/or subjective to me.
Your bigoted view that only black kids like rap is very sad.
