Specifically the hairstyles of young africanamericans. And the controversial decision made by one School District that fed into a heated National Debate. Heres abcs Deborah Roberts. Reporter this 15yearold Ashanti Scott knows hair can say so much about us. A cheerleader at butler high in louisville, kentucky, she proudly wears hers in its natural tightly curled state. So she was stunned this year when she saw her schools new dress code po that as you kept reading it just added more and more hairstyles that were natural and mostly worn by black people. Did it feel personal to you . It felt very personal to me because ive worn those hairstyles. It was almost like an attack on me and who i am and my culture. Reporter ashanti and mom attica became part of a hot National Debate about perceptions involving natural hair. What offended the scots is this banning dread locks, twists, afros longer than two inches, and cornrows, which is even misspelled. Attica, kentucky state legislature, immediately called her daughters school. But it was after hours so she did what many of us do when frustrated, turned to social media. On twitter she wrote, so my daughter had registration today and lets just say shes not happy about the jcps no natural hair policy. The tweet going viral within minutes. Why not wait till the next day and call the school . And try to sort it out that way this. Because it was fresh, it was on my mind, i knew i had the rest of the night to connect to other people who may also have some concerns about the policy as well. Reporter and she did. Soon hundreds of responses. Many from parents posting photos of their own children with hairdos that would violate the policy. I talked to my girlfriends about natural hair. We literally talk about natural striking a nerve here in louisville. I thought about coming to work several times with it out but have always decided against it. Would it be too much . Really, what is too much . Reporter that same question at the center of a growing conversation about selfidentity. With more and more africanamericans choosing to embrace their godgiven hair. The Natural Hair Movement is more than hair. It is a lifestyle. It is learning to be comfortable in the skin that youre in. Reporter nicky wanton, author and blogger hair, recalls growing up feeling that straight hair was more acceptable than curly or kinky hair. Everything that i saw growing up, magazines, television, movies, people on the street, people on the runway, all you saw was straight hair. Long, straight hair. Even women that look like me had long, flowing, straight hair. I knew that whenever my hair got wet, it didnt look like that. . . Knotty mess . . My dad alabama my mother louisiana . Reporter from beyonce . Im a baby with a baby hair afro . Reporter to sesame street . My hair looks good in corn rows . Reporter look at celebrities rocking natural hair on magazine covers and the red carpet. For the last 50 years, were told the way were not good enough, the way our hair na our features, our lips, our butts, our hips, our everything, not acceptable. To be able to reclaim that and take that back and say, you know what, i am beautiful, im gorgeous, and i dont need to change anything about myself. Thats powerful. Reporter a perception this father and daughter duo are embracing bigtime. When i take photos, i feel like a princess. Reporter one Instagram Photo at a time.

This is not about photos, this is not about images. Its about inspiring people to believe in themselves. Reporter for him, teaching his daughter to be proud of where she comes from. We should all love where our roots come from. Whether its straight, long, kink kinky, know what i mean, whether its that or if it goes down to where her hair goes, its gorgeous. Reporter a message thought revolutionary back in the 60s during the black power movement. Even perceived as a political statement. . You have the prettiest hair in the world . Reporter just ask hairstylist isis brantley. She recently hosted a rally in dallas. African children are under attack. Their hair is being told that it unkempt. Reporter but her argument may have been lost with a controversial guest. Rachel dolezal, a white woman making headlines claiming she was black. This is a justice issue. As an educator i have a responsibility to participate in the movement. Reporter though dolezal, a hair braider, supports the Natural Hair Movement, apparently many dont support her. Instead of the usual hundreds who might turn out, close to a dozen turned out for but braids were never meant to cause controversy in louisville, kentucky, says william allen, principal at butler high. Were about kids here at this school. Reporter he says the ban on natural hairstyles was all a big misunderstanding. The language for braids has always been in our dress code. Strictly for male students. Theres never been restrictions for female students. Doesnt a policy like that inherently single out black kids . All our policies are for all our students. Step back and look at culture versus style. Look at specific instances we have in our dress code policy that might relate to a specific group. Reporter just after attica scotts tweet the school quickly called a meeting. Today im proposing we immediately suspend our section of the dress code policy about students hair. Reporter suspending the policy but igniting more anger. I would love to hear from the students first they have affected us Africanamerican Community instead of making assumptions, yall should have asked. Reporter but one black member of the decision board, sha reese balden trainam, mom of a daughter at butler, said the policy was simply about neat grooming, not offending a culture. I know it sounds crazy standing here with an africanamerican woman with braids. I was not offended. It doesnt mean that i dont understand the offense. Reporter she hopes future going on social media. I dont want to live in a world where everywhere i go, i have to see everything as black and white. I dont want to raise my kids like that. But i will teach them to stand up for what is right. I applaud her for seeing an issue and standing up for it. But i think that we have to be very careful about how we address these issues because it affects our chdr. Its not about intent, its the way it landed. The way it land for me are, my daughter, other parents, it was discriminatory and it was offensive. Youve got a principal who was black, parents on the council who are black. Do you really think they were out to discriminate against black students . Just because youre black doesnt mean youre not feeding into the system. I work at places often where theres still issues of race. Ive worked at universities race. That doesnt end just because i work there and im black. Reporter butler has since changed its dress policy to say that hair must be wellgroomed, wellkept, and at a reasonable length. A positive outcome, say ashanti and attica scott, and hopefully a lesson, they say that will relevance nate beyond the classroom. Its not about one school. Its about the Public School system and the way that its policing kids who are trying to get an education. They want to come and lear reporter for nightline im Deborah Roberts in louisville, kentucky.
