MALDEN, Mass. — The Massachusetts Attorney General's Office ordered a Malden charter school to immediately stop punishing students for wearing hairstyles the school said violated its dress code.
In a four-page letter sent to the Mystic Valley Regional Charter School, the attorney general's office called the code discriminatory and unfairly enforced.
The office said the school's policy "included a number of prohibitions that are either unreasonably subjective or appear to effectively single out students of color."
The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts filed a complaint Monday with the state’s education department calling for the elimination of a policy that bans hair extensions at the school.

Why do blacks need hair extensions? That is appropriating the hairstyles of other cultures.
They must have known there was a dress code when they sent there kids there....
This county is doomed
Of course they knew.
Wow we’ve sure come a long way from the days when girls wore dresses to school, and boys wore nice pants and shirts with a collar, not t shirts.
And now they are challenging the very concept of a dress code, even today’s much more lenient dress codes are too restrictive for these liberals.......
Sorry but it sure can be interpreted that SESSIONS is the AG that ‘ordered’ this.
I thought part of what made Charter Schools a good choice, was that the Charter School itself set the standard
NOT the government. Another swing and miss from the Justice Department.
There IS a dress code in today’s public schools. It’s blue jeans, denim, or jeans.

I’m assuming a charter school has dress codes & restriction on ridiculous hair styles because it wants to maintain a reputation with students that look normal,not radical. They want their students to be able to gain employment & not be rejected because of their looks. The students have a choice if they want to conform so as to be able to attend a certain school,don’t they?
