Mum defends 16 year old daughter after she got suspended from school for wearing natural hair

A student at the CR Walker Senior High School in the Bahamas, was sent to the principal’s office and later suspended for rocking her natural hair. The principal said 16 year old Tayjha Deleveaux was trying to clamp down on students wearing their hair in a way that looks like it would not have been combed for days. Tayjha's mother got upset and posted her daughter’s picture on Facebook with a message in defence of her hair, saying she was “standing up against foolishness”.

The country’s ministry of education has now responded in a Facebook post :

“We are fully cognisant of the sensitivity of this matter and are confident that after review with the school administrator, the school board and the individuals involved, the matter will be amicably resolved,” the ministry wrote.
