Our hair has meaning & cultural power. I will never stop saying it because it keeps happening -- only in Amerikkka do Indigenous & Black people need legislation in order to wear our hair the way we want.

Not right. Such bullshit. What the hell happened to freedom of expression. What an egregious human rights violation. No one should be forced to do this. Sounds like a cultural assault as well.

It really is a form of cultural genocide. I have memories of growing up with elders who would talk about arriving at their Indian boarding school and having their long braids chopped off & tossed in a box. It wounded them beyond belief. It's pure racism and cultural genocide.

I hope they can sue them and get the remediation that is necessary to stop this from continuing to happen.

It's so widespread in this country for Indigenous and Black people. There is legislation but it's completely ignored (the Crown Act and American Indian Religious Freedoms Act). People are trying to fight but not everyone has the funds for lawyers.

I knew a family back in HS, they had a son a bit younger than me and his mom went to court to keep his hair long. Meskwaki tribe in Iowa! She won, but what a process. Seriously, mind ya business is an option people. Long hair didn't hurt anyone IMHO

That's terrible. That baby's hair was not hurting anyone. You are right @Bowerydoll , the fact Indigenous and Black people need laws to justify our HAIR is a sad commentary on this nation.

I need to believe it but I just can’t believe this abuse continues. It makes me sick to my stomach. Shame shame shame on these horrible white supremacists.
