16 year old Tayjha Deleveaux , a student at the CR Walker Senior High School in the Bahamas, was sent to the principal’s office and later suspended for rocking her natural hair. The principal said she was trying to clamp down on students wearing
their hair in a way that looks like it would not have been combed for
days.
Tayjha's mother got upset and posted her daughter’s picture on Facebook with a message in defence of her hair, saying she was “standing up against foolishness”. Read what she wrote after the cut...
The country’s ministry of education has now responded in a Facebook
post :
“We are fully cognisant of the sensitivity of this matter and are
confident that after review with the school administrator, the school
board and the individuals involved, the matter will be amicably
resolved,” the ministry wrote.

See beautiful girl with full luscious locks. Abeg dash me o. On a more serious note. The principal is racist or just plain hateful. Everyone knows that's how black natural hair is. I hope they suspend her or something.
Racism will never leave this world...
"It does not affect her brain","trying to clamp down on students wearing their hair in a way that looks like it would not have been combed for days".Na this type of hair LICE dey take refuge.
If your daughter attends the school then she must obey the rules and regulations,dress like a student.SIMPLE

Maybe it is the piercing of extra-ear(two earrings) that was why she was suspends
rubbish. Linda see to that case
The principle is a riscist, how can you send a girl with natural hair back home? Her hair was created that way so you should accept her the way she is

Wetin be their biz now
They had better resolve this matter as fast as they can, or they are gonna get a thousand more suspensions to handle as most black girls would certainly try to show their support for their sister by making their hair even look worse.
Like seriously....instead they should face serious matter like bullying, school shooting it's how a teenage girl looks.... smh
Dey should free d gal abeg. Linda observe!
Hmmmmmmmm
Nawa ooooo...gues d principal is white...if not he/she would v known dt blacks do v thick hairs unlike whites...

Nothing is absolutely wrong with thick hair,it's every black girl's pride.#RockitIfyougotit

Change her school since it is coming from their management.
Nawaooo
Ur blind eyez won't let u see where the mom said the get problem with weaving
Nawaooo
...16? WITH 3 PIERCING ON HER EAR ALREADY? I WONDER...
Normally sha, when you are in primary or secondary school, you are not supposed to dress your hair as if you are going to a disco party even if it's your natural hair. Either pack it well or plait it. To be honest, the hair looks like she is going for a fashion show. Even if it doesnt affect her brain, she should be modest in her dressing. However, it is not enough for the school to suspend her. That was a very harsh decision. At least give her first and second warning before suspending her but if it is part of the school's policy and the child is aware of the policy and still kept her hair like that, then of course the school should not be blamed. This is my objective candid opinion.
Lolzz
Loving mommy
Suspend ke? Are they high?
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Lol, I concur
Lol
Was it her first day in school? How has she been wearing her hair. I'm #teamnatural, but make she plait her hair jare. She's still a student, besides, it'll look neater
Charity begins at home. Even the mother using a foul language"wtf"says it all.Nigerians can be hypocrites sha! Which secondary sch in Nigeria rocks this hair? Not to talk about the 3-4 ear piercings in a 16yr old. smh
Madam d girl doesn't school in Nigeria...if u read properly it's in d Bahamas...most of them there carry their hair..its not about weaving it
