今年9月，在学校开学的第一周，7岁的蒂安娜·帕克在俄克拉何马州塔尔萨的学校里扎着一头扎着鲜艳粉色蝴蝶结的辫子。黛博拉·布朗社区学校是一所特许学校，由历史悠久的黑人大学兰斯顿大学赞助。该学校将蒂安娜送回家，并告诉她的父母，他们的孩子违反了学校的一项政策，该政策禁止学生留“不寻常的发型”，分散对学校“尊重”的学习环境的注意力。这所学校不仅禁止学生使用“长发、阿弗罗式、莫霍克式”和其他所谓的流行发型，而且学校的手册还规定，女生“编织的头发不能长于肩膀”，男生的发型“要短而整齐”。
This past September, during the first week of school, seven-year old Tiana Parker wore dreadlocks tied in a bright pink bow to her school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Deborah Brown Community School, a charter school sponsored by the historically black college Langston University, sent Tiana home and told her parents that their child was in violation of a school policy prohibiting students from wearing “unusual hairstyles” that distract from the school’s “respectful” learning environment. Not only were “dreadlocks, Afros, Mohawks” and other so-called faddish styles banned from the school, the school’s handbook also instructed that girls’ “weaved hair should be no longer than shoulder length” and that boys’ hairstyles are “to be short and neatly trimmed.”
