Student In Tears After Being Sent Home Because Of Hair [VIDEO]
I feel so bad for this little girl.
A Jefferson Parish school is getting a lot of attention this week after an Instagram video shows a student being sent home in tears.
The student is told that she has to leave campus because of the braids on her head. This all happened at Christ the King Elementary School in Terrytown.
WWL-TV reports that the student handbook says, “Boys and girls: only the student’s natural hair is permitted. Extensions, wigs, hair pieces of any kind are not allowed.”
The family tells the television station that they were not aware of this new policy and now they are reportedly seeking legal advice.
Rapper T.I. shared this video on Instagram and now this story is getting a lot of attention around the country.
We ask, did the school handle this situation the right way or could this have been handled differently? Let us know what you think below.
