Just because you can t make it work, Jon.
A barrister has been ordered by his chambers to delete a tweet calling a black teenager stroppy after she and her family fought her school when it banned her afro.
Jon Holbrook of Cornerstone Barristers tweeted that the Equality Act undermines school discipline by empowering the stroppy teenager of colour .
Holbrook was commenting in response to a video produced by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. It described how the EHRC had assisted teenager Ruby Williams and her parents when Williams was sent home repeatedly by her school for having an afro hair style. The school maintained that Williams s hair contravened its rule that afros had to be of a reasonable size and length .
