I feel this is violating the children freedom of speech and is intentionally stereotyping them. I could see if this was a private school, which promotes a very conservative approach. The language used in the dress code is intentionally focusing on minorities. If I was a parent in this school district I would file a lawsuit. Long hair, dreadlocks, braids, etc are part of some people’s culture and they are being punished for being different. “DRESS CODE Our philosophy and program aspires to raise the level of academic excellence through respect for learning. The students, therefore, dress in a uniform to encourage respect and seriousness of school. Students attending DBCS are required to wear black or brown shoes and the appropriate uniform as designated by the Executive Director. BLACK OR BROWN TENNIS SHOES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. It is suggested that each child have a minimum of four complete sets of uniforms. Any student not wearing the proper uniform Monday through Friday will be sent home for non-compliance to the school dress code. Hairstyles such as dreadlocks, afros and other faddish styles are unacceptable. For safety reasons, girls weaved hair should be no longer than shoulder length. Boy’s hair is to be short and neatly trimmed. Boys are not allowed to wear earrings.” today/moms/girl-7-switches-schools-after-her-dreadlocks-are-banned-8C11095779
