There is no such thing as a liberal democracy, just a tolerant one. Everybody thinks that they have the right to do as they please, and screw the rest if they don't like it. Democracy only has so much resilience, before it breaks under the weight of the masses lobbying to be able to do as they please, whether it brings harm or not.

Liberal Democracy? Hahahahahahaha.

If you enter a courthouse (state entity) you are ordered to remove hats and shades. So much for wearing what you want. Don't believe everything in those poli-sci text books.

I don't think this girl's hair is outrageous.

As a person with natural hair who often wears twists and an afro, I'm torn.

Still, li'l chirren shouldn't have colour in dey hair. Dat ting is damaging!

The school that my little girl attends is "sticking" to thier rules!

Before school opened they sent a "school rules" sheet out with the book list.

Example: You know how kids like to double up on thier socks?

Well my little girl did that and was asked to remove one pair of the socks. I could not get mad because it is the school rules, I hope they continue to set the rules and stick to them.

As a mother my little girl is not allowed to add extensions to her hair or have her haired colored (thats just my rules) now when she is out on her own and if she chooses to extend her hair or color it then so be it.

its not about the style...black woman, as you know, are very creative w/ our hair, braids and fros came from africa w/ our ancestors when they were stolen...so there is no problem w/ that...im thinking the school principal is a dignifid classy black woman and this color thing is because of what kind of message does that send to the other students...color is okay for a twelve year old chile...#4 today...blue...red...green...etc tomorrow...:sarcastic

its all about sewing seeds of decency in our youth (something many of these parents forget about in thier poverty of spirits)...dont make no difference the aclu will take up the case anyway...americans love to sue then settle!

Exactly...lol. Maan we need to do the same thing here in da Bahamas. When I become of age and start a amily... the day the Ministry tells me my child hair is "too high" or shouldn't have color will be the day I go before the Supreme Court.
Why would you want a seventh grader hair be maroon,also it sound like you would not mind your child going to school with his pants by his knee.
All schools around the world even here in the bahamas needs to enforce more rule because parents like yourself would need guideline on how to govern your child in the right way.

And we wonder what is wrong with our youth these days. I agree is not outrageous BUT the school has some rules and like someone else said maybe they should make them more clear, however if the school finds is inapropriate, it should go.

My daughter cant come to me and tell me about Constitution, Law, rights, whatnot. This is a situation when I would say well you know what, maybe we dont see a problem with it and if the school has rules about it then it has to go. She needs to learn that life is not all about what YOU want or what YOU think is right.
I honestly wouldnt let my pride get in the way of my daughter's education.


And I would also like to know why was it necessary to enphasize that is a black girl? It was not necessary in the least.

damn! well said.

Let me ask a question ?

If your child is attending a school and in the school rules it says, no type of color is to be added to the students hair (not saying this is the case)

Now, keep in mind you as a parent went over the school rules with your child, then would you still allow your child to color thier hair if they asked you too?

btw I see nothing wrong with the child having extensions and a little color in her hair during summer break.

Agreed and BTW I love your avatar!!

If the rules said no colour, then no colour.

NOW if the rules said she had to have permed hair, or could not wear twists or braids in her natural hair, I would kick up a fuss.

As long as it's kept neatly off the collar in a bun or tidy ponytail, I'm happy.

The young lady in this photo could easily have put in all natural coloured micro's and clipped in a handful of coloured micro's on weekends to show her style.

Thanks

but you just said you wouldnt let your child have extensions or colour until she's off age...isnt that a bit hypocritical? My mother has a big 12 yrs old that is ...she can braid her own hair already but when it comes time for color (my sisters and I) step in and let her know that it is inappropriate and put our foot in her *** if we have to (we are not her friends!)...I dont know maybe its b/c our mother is tired of raising children or she dont wanna deal with the stress (of her own child :realmad: )...but what I find is that your company can influence you (her friends to school or in the neighborhood whose mothers are closer to 24 as opposed to 44)

but you just said you wouldnt let your child have extensions or colour until she's off age...isnt that a bit hypocritical?


Hey T
I didnt say my child

My mother has a big 12 yrs old that is ...she can braid her own hair already


You mean plait her own hair down?

My little girl use to like getting her hair plait down, but since it has grown some she puts it in a bun

Hey T
I didnt say my child

but that's the problem...if its not okay for your child andit wrong and inappropriate on all fronts...why are you tolerant of it for someone else's? you dont find anything eerily uncanny about that....what happened to a sense of community?

sad thing is some of these bsket case mothers would get in my face hollering and screaming w/o a point to make as to why its okay for their little girl to be looking like lil kim on the first day a school...people we gotta do better.
