A second teen at a Texas high school was suspended and told he could not return to class until he cut his dreadlocks to be in compliance with the school's dress code, his mother says.
But shortly after Christmas break, she said the school's principal, Rick Kana, told Kaden that he would need to cut his hair. Bradford said she paid last week to have Kaden's dreads cornrowed, or tightly-braided, so that they lay flat against his scalp.
But that did not appease administrators, who placed him on at-home suspension because he refused to cut his hair, his mother said.Bradford said she believes the hair policy is racist. The school districtstates male students cannot have their hair “gathered or worn in a style that would allow the hair to extend below” the collar, earlobes and eyes when let down.
