Sadly, this type of disciplinary action is just as common as it is outrageous, as girls of color face many overlapping barriers to succeed in school, the workplace and even in society.
National data shows that Black girls are 5.5 times more likely to be suspended from school than white girls, and that rate balloons to 8.5 times in my own state of New Jersey.

Hmmm !
I wonder why that is?
.
The dress code ban on hair extensions seems clear and easily understood.
Maybe they should learn to conduct themselves properly within a civilized society then.
Occam's Razor!
Obviously, the author has never heard Black girls talk.
That reminds me...I need to catch up on my IHOP brawl video watching.
A policy against braids?!? In a world of full of stupid things happening with & in schools, this may be the dumbest.
A statistic that doesn't mean what they want people to think it does.
Related to gang membership?

Please remember this is just more of the Fake News narrative that is common today. We are not being told the other half of the story. As the media will always lie and distort the truth, we must remember to ignore and disregard their sob stories.
Leftists are always ready to seize on ANY “outlier” incident like this one to merge it into general statistics and claim massive “bias.” Meanwhile everyone knows Black girls and boys are suspended at higher rates because of behavior and violence issues.
Well, Bonnie, a critically thinking Black girl would conclude that it pays to "act White", was that hard?
I agree. It seems the reason behind the policy has nothing to do with safety or hygiene and everything to do with not wanting students to look more wealthy than other students. As long as students are modest and not distracting others, the school administrators should mind their own business. I hate the way socialism has entrenched itself in education.
Wait! What?!?
"Black" is capitalized, but "white" is not?!?
Demonicrat Bonnie Watson Coleman and NBCNews need to apologize for spewing such racist hatred and denigration.
Do you not realize the school 100% acknowledges the discipline is for the wearing of braids? What "other half of the story" is there?
School uniforms solve these problems.
Dress codes used to provide this function until the Grievance Industry and the ‘Full Employment for Tort Lawyers’ Industry got rolling.
It's not about skin color, it's about breaking rules.
'cause dey ain't be actin' white. Dey be keepin' it real.
“”Black” is capitalized, but “white” is not?!?”

Good catch !
