Black Teen Claims School District Told Him to Cut Dreadlocks If He Wants to Walk in Graduation
that his hair had always met the school district’s policies until recently when he received an in-school suspension after he refused to cut it.
His mother, Sandy Arnold, told the news station that after Christmas break and three months before graduation, the school district changed the dress code policy. Sandy told CBS This Morning that she believes the lack of diversity in the district is the issue. “There is no people of color on the school board. I get it that they don’t understand his hair,” she said.
