Black girl expelled over hairstyle; School policy blasted

46. It's a good thing not to interfere with another student viewing the teacher or blackboard.

It's not whitening, IMO. It's a general rule that applies to everyone. Catholic schools are strict. That's why they exist...rules. The Catholic Church itself is rule-oriented. It teaches kids to obey rules, as one of the purposes of the school. Not a bad thing. It will be that way in the working world. And puts the focus on the lessons.

Plenty of white women have extensions...to make their hair longer, fill in for thin hair, whatever. And most black women and white women don't have extensions.

But if someone wants their kid to express their individualism, you don't send her to a Catholic school. That is not what those schools are about. You won't find pink or purple hair there, either. "Natural" is the rule.
