An elementary school in Georgia has come under fire after it created and displayed a poster dictating ‘appropriate’ and ‘inappropriate’ hairstyles for black students. One parent of a student of the Narvie Harris Elementary School noticed the controversial diagram as she passed through the halls and took a picture. Outraged, the woman shared it with her friend Danay Helena, who in-turn shared it on Facebook where it has since been shared thousands of times.(Snip) In a later interview with CNN, the hairstylist said the poster particularly concerned her because it only seemed to be singling-out the hairstyles of black students.
Seems to me that 98% of the ridiculous hair styles are on black kids, so what's the deal here? They are just addressing a problem. Maybe a picture of a white kid with a purple mohawk should have been on the poster, but otherwise I don't see the problem.

They should have thrown in a few pictures of pale goths and emos with spikey hair or dyed a color not found in nature just to show that they are "equal-opportunity" when it comes to not wanting their students to look ridiculous.

The problem is that everything has to be inclusive. Pictures should have also included: white kids, brown kids, mixed-race kids, Asian kids, Muslim kids, transgender kids, Fiji islander kids, green kids (from Mars), and any other kids unintentionally left out.

Somebody seems to be outraged by everything nowadays. Why is this news?

The "hairy mushroom cap" look seems to be popular now on black kids. Just as dumb as the old Goodyear Blimp sized Afros that they used to wear. I am occasionally amazed at the hard, glued, sort of black ribbon constructions that some girls had a few year ago. They looked like they must have taken hours to glue up, and must have been unable to survive a night in bed.
People do silly things.

The black community persists in living down to the stereotype of saggy pants, underwear showing, dreadlocks-wearing, shucking and jiving, do nothings. Anyone coming into contact with one of these clowns knows that they're in the company of someone who doesn't respect him or herself, and isn't serious about being an upstanding citizen.

Wait a minute, the leftards have been screaming for years that blacks can't be raycist, so how can they claim this is? The school admin is all black. Proves what lying perverse dolts leftards are.

Jungle bunnies being jungle bunnies. Pretty soon they will look like the pages of old National Geographics. I’d probably leave them alone.

A thorough reporter would have asked who determined the styles that were inappropriate. In an all-black school it is almost certain that a black faculty member/committee made the decision. It would not be surprising if the PTA was also consulted. Instead, the implication of the story that a white administration determined this for a black student body. Black faculty never would have permitted such a thing. We need a Paul Harvey to tell the rest of the story.

It is just another stupid school administration trick. Let "The Community" hassle this out.

I was at the local CVS picking up a prescription this morning and saw a bag of all-white M&Ms for sale. How long before some SJW declares that to be racist and how long before Mars caves and pulls them from the shelves?

Black and inner-city schools are notoriously failing. So along comes a school that attempts to improve itself by adopting a hair-grooming standard, and the parents erupt. It's not even worth trying to improve black schools.

I have been amused by hair conflict over the span of my 80 years on earth.
When the Beatles came to the U.S. in 1964, their 'long' hair generated all sorts of school haircut rules. And in rebellion about that, boys hair became stupidly long, even including ridiculous man-buns.
NFL hair may be the stupidest of all.
And my whiter than white youngest son let his hair grow out in middle school, giving him a white boy afro. We even bought Afrosheen for him - I learned that the best time to buy it was during Black History Month. It was on sale.
This may be the least important issue of my lifetime. But thanks for posting it.
And in the interest of full disclosure, I had a Don Eagle haircut in 1948. (Don Eagle was a native American professional wrestler who always lost to Lou Thesz.)

Pick Cory Booker's hair style and there will be no problem. The Clemson QB has hair that looks like a hand me down wig from Cher. What does that make me?

Why does a newspaper in the UK care about what goes on in an elementary school in Georgia? They should be more concerned with getting their kids to brush their teeth and to occasionally go see a dentist.

OK, #15, I had no idea who Don Eagle was or what kind of haircut you meant.
For those wishing to visualize it.....

Pretty "out there" for 1948 if you weren't a professional wrestler playing the part of an Indian.

One has to wonder who at this elementary school thought this was going to be a good thing to do and that there would be no repercussions?

With 5 daughters (back in the late 80's and 90's) approaching make-up and hair styling days we only had a few iron clad rules....no purple hair or completely shaved heads and NO blue eye shadow e.v.e.r. For the rest of it they could knock themselves out but they needed to remember...if they wore something outrageous and the school wanted a parent to check them out of school...they could only call for their Dad to check them out, not me. That did it. They seemed to learn at very early age to pick their "battles" carefully.
It's really getting past the limit of being tired at these people who get offended at any small thing that happens to cross their pathetic little lives. It seems like that's all people do these days is to walk around waiting to be offended.....g.e.t a. l.i.f.e beyond your horizons snowflakes......

The Black Community once again is outraged. This time, the unrest boiled over when a completely black-run school with 98% black students (the rest biracial or Hispanic) in a black neighborhood unfairly used black kids to model clean-cut hairstyles.
