I am participating in this because my crown has not been in good condition ever since they stop our privilege and some of us get bullied for having untidy natural hair.

A school should be a place where students are encouraged to learn, not made to feel ashamed of who they are. Hair is part of our identity and culture. We are asking to be heard, respected, and treated equally ,not differently because of how we wear our hair.

Let's be honest if we were white, hairstyles associated with our culture would likely not be treated as an issue. School policies should promote eq
