It has everything to do with hair care you obviously haven't read what I wrote, I did not say the school was right, my comments were directed at those making the matter a race issue, the school has handled the the situation incorrectly and should actually explain their reasons for banning the other kids from having braids, I don't agree with their decision and my comments are specifically pointing out that, the blame should be laid with the school and not the black students because they do have a genuine need to braid or plait their hair. as I wrote previously like it or not black hair is different and by banning the black students from having braids is denying the fact that they are different and that their hair is different. I disagree with the comment that the afro students were allowed to have braids because of cultural intergration, it is a NECESSITY

Having braids is not an absolute necessitity. It's about as much a necessary as ponytails.
