Girl says Florida school threatening expulsion over her ânatural hairâ | Fox News
First: This is a private school, so they can set almost any limitations they want and can expel a student for any infraction they want.
So, the family says the hair is not a distraction, the school says it is.
From the picture, it appears(pictures can be misleading) that the hair:
is about 6-10 inches above her head, billows over both shoulders on the sides, seems to protrude 8-12 inches behind her. I don't think length would be a problem. So there is a wall that is 2'x4' of wavy hair.
If this isn't distracting what is? At minimum she should have to sit at the back of the class(then the school would be called racist).
I know someone will bring up her ethnicity. She is celebrating her heritage with this hair. Who her ancestors were has no bearing on something being distracting or not.
I believe this hair is a distraction in class.
According to WKMG, Faith Christian Academy has rules governing student hairstyles. The student handbook reads: "Hair must be a natural color and must not be a distraction," and goes on to state examples that include, but are not limited to, mohawks, shaved designs and rat tails.
