These days many women are embracing their natural hair in all its many forms and styles. But it seems one city school isn't open to every style. People have been on a facebook rant about a so-called policy at Edward P. York regarding females hairstyles. Our understanding is that the students were told that the 'afro puff' hairstyle isn't appropriate for school and one student said that she was told that the style doesn't look good. Well, the natural hair community has erupted on facebook saying that it is discrimination and that girls should be taught to love and embrace their natural hair. We contacted the Ministry of Education and they said they have not been able to reach the senior managers in education for comment. We will follow up tomorrow for an update.
