I am the Senior Officer for Press Relations for a cabinet-level federal agency. I am also a spokesperson there, specializing in international media relations and communications. I have served as a writer for ranking U.S. government leaders and led critical public relations campaigns in several countries. I have had the pleasure of building an illustrious curriculum vitae while fulfilling my mother and father’s greatest hopes for me, their oldest child. I have done all of these things while wearing dreadlocks.
With the understanding that setting high standards is critical to high achievement, I implore the Deborah Brown School to reevaluate the basis of the academy’s grooming code. The notion that the naturally and gloriously coiled hair of people of the African diaspora is “faddish” would be laughable if it were not so very sad and ignorant. Upon checking the school’s website, I was shocked and dismayed to see that such bias and self hatred is being planted and reinforced in the minds of children by a group of Black people. Again, I implore the school to recognize the harmfulness of the message it is sending to every student and parent in its community– that the “afro” curly and kinked hair of Black people is an inferior joke and a fad. There is nothing inferior about me, my race, or our hair.
As the Deborah Brown School labors to shape and mold the minds and hearts of America’s youth, it should be very aware of the imprint that it is leaving.
Shame on the board members of this school for spreading the views of their own self hatred to the majority of their student body, which happens to be black. Their statement that “dreadlocks and afros are too distracting” to me sends a wrong message to our black children that their hair in its natural “god-given” state, even if combed out of their faces, is more unacceptable, than a child of another race whos bangs may flow right into their eyes as they read. If only the board members were more concerned with educating these young people rather than trying to be their personal stylists, perhaps our children could develop a better sense of self worth, and go on to be seen as productive members of society whether they have dredlocked hair, or an afro, or a mohawk. I hope you look on the news and see how you may have possibly damaged that sweet little girls confidence in herself…she seems like a good kid.
Seems like this school is better off for students who actually need discipline, and a specific structure. my daughter (kindergarten) attended for 3 days. On the 2nd day of school her teacher mentioned a behavioral sheet will be sent home the next week to start discipline action for talking. So the students can’t talk the whole day? School just started, and they’re already wanting to discipline? They also receive a 10 minute recess. 10 minutes? How do they even function the whole day without the ability to breathe or show emotion? The teachers can also work on their delivery to parents via email, and in person. I wouldn’t send my dog to that school. Its not even that serious.
