Nasty comments came from white women and black men. You should go through the political debates on Facebook and Twitter. I love my "UnKept/ UnTidy hair. My not so professional look". This 13yrs old has our support. A lot of racism issues are now coming out. Our kids endure a lot at school.

" Why should they stop them from wearing their hair in its natural state, and that teacher needs to be fired. It's her natural hair for goodness sakes. It's never going to be always perfectly combed. The hair does what the hair wants to do.

It only shows that our leaders have failed us. on the one hand i applaud the girls for their bravery to do what we couldn't because these rules aren't exclusive to white led and/ or private school but on the other hand, this is not fair on black children. at such a young they have to understand racism,systematic oppression and silencing of black people and be thrust into the role of being a revolutionary while her white peers can just exist. . . unconditionally, unpoliced and enjoy their childhood.<br />you know, Its a;ways interesting how conservatives talk about decolonising our institutions but call us all sorts of names when its time to do so. this is what decolonisation looks like. It surprises me that the ladies were able to articulate themselves so well given this poisonous indoctrination we call education in this country. thanks for the feature on this story though.<br /><br />Mvumikazi <a href="http://www.urbanmnguni.blogspot.co.za/" rel="nofollow">| Urban Mnguni |</a>Urban Mngunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768528660975297897noreply@blogger.com
