aylon Sewell is a good kid. Just 16 years old, he is an active leader in his local church, a good student, and manager for the football team at Neville High School in Monroe, Louisiana. Suddenly, he has found himself in a deeply unfamiliar place after deciding to live a little and dye the top of his hair blonde in an homage to Odell Beckham Jr., the standout wide receiver for the New York Giants.
Jaylon's family, in a formal complaint filed in November with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, alleged that the 16-year-old was discriminated against because he wasn't allowed to attend class with dyed hair — "when white students with dyed hair were allowed to attend class."
Jaylon and more than 20 other black students at Neville High School have been repeatedly targeted and harassed by school administrators for their hairstyles — including the Odell Beckham style, other colored styles, braids, dreads, and even for hair deemed "too nappy" by administrators, his family said.
Additionally, his family alleged in the complaint that the school district retaliated against Jaylon by "suspending him, attempting to expel him, and barring him from participation on the NHS football team."

He is but boy do white people give him the ammunition he needs
If the child was suspended for his hair then there's nothing to discuss. It's a matter of what the discipline should be for the school, not if.
Besides it says in the School's dress code:
According to the Monroe City Schools dress code, “Hair styles, and hair dyed outlandish colors which cause a disruption to the educational process shall not be allowed.”
On a serious note, the schools are so fucked up these days with their rules. That kid is no more of a distraction than the nonsense that some of these teachers spew on a daily basis with their political agendas.

Speaking of agendas.

When the fuck was the last time you were in a school that you think high school teachers are indoctrinating kids with "political agendas"?
Also, people calling Shaun King out as a "race baiting huckster is fucking hilarious,especially when you consider the despicable race baiting hucksters coming from our executive branch, as people who happen to have the same skin color and nationality are being shot dead after being told to back to their country.
I fucking depose how absurdly old and conservative the viewpoints of many BBI posters can be at times.
Write articles about race and injustice? Automatically a baiting huckster..
Anything related to a teacher? Something something liberal political agenda
Lastly, fuck this school for kicking this kid out with hair. But yes, it actually would be more distracting than the "liberal political agenda of some teachers" (a bullshit non-existent persecution in high school)
For all the talk of divisiveness, there sure are a lot of people shacking up ing lasses houses ITT

Provide any proof that any SUBSTANTIAL amount of high school teachers are "spewing" agendas on a "daily basis". Absolve cops for repeatedly getting busted for misconduct (despite it being a vast majority of cops) and and distrust DOJ f innings on racial bias within law enforcement, but shit on teachers for imagined "liberal agendas spewed on a daily basis"
Everyone sees through your bullshit, you shouldn't even try pretend to be object by any means.
Besides it says in the School's dress code:
According to the Monroe City Schools dress code, “Hair styles, and hair dyed outlandish colors which cause a disruption to the educational process shall not be allowed.”
First off, they called his hair (and 20+ other students "too nappy).
Second of all, the family is saying this is enforced typically against the black kids. I'm genuinely curious to see if there's a white kid with liberty spikes somewhere in that school, and what they say to him. But more importantly, they say other white kids due their hair.
Lastly, stop justifying Sean Kind being beat up by white kids in school cause they said he "presented himself as black". In what fucked up worldview of yours is that acceptable?
Everyone sees through your facade into your vile posts every time you open your mouth about shit like this.
Oh, and LOL are using Jason Whitlock as some sort of moral compass. Maybe you should do a little research into him.
Well the article claims other students have dyed their hair without being suspended. Whether that's accurate or not, and whether such dying was as "outlandish" as this is obviously unknown. Like others in this thread, I apply quite a bit of skepticism to the author. But if the article is reported accurately and his hair is substantially similar to other students who didn't face suspension, than the text of the dress code is fairly irrelevant.
And even accepting the code as applicable, no rational and objective person could consider that hairstyle a disruption to the educational process.
Quote:
“The guy that wrote this story for the New York Daily News, he’s not a journalist,” Whitlock said on the Dan Patrick Show Monday. “He’s a race hustler from Twitter, from the Black Lives Matter movement who stirs racial controversy to elevate himself. Listen, the guy’s been busted. First of all, he’s white and presenting himself as black. He said that as a child in high school he was allegedly attacked by a group of white people because he was black. Well, he wasn’t black and there were people saying that wasn’t why he was attacked and there’s no proof of it.”

Sorry, I try not to get political but all I could think of is that posters like sonic youth and david from LA think that its ok to unjustifiably call people racists and other demeaning names just because they have a different opinion then they do and how it has currently led to the toxic state of affairs in our country.
You can agree or disagree with the site owner's ban on the topic, but it's his site and it should be respected. It also derails discussion of the topic posted.
With that said, regardless of that, if the kid got suspended because of his hair, that is stupid.

Cute response, but yeah, I'm not the one who brought up politics in this thread.
You can thank the person who somehow interjected "agendas pushed on students" by fucking high school teachers as the one who somehow made this political.

Oh and get the fuck out of my face with "this is why Trump won". I'm not dignifying that with a response, but if you were stupid enough to vote for your president for posts like above, as opposed to policies and personal behavior of the candidate, YOU are actually the problem.
Like I said, everyone knows your MO. Don't play coy.

Feel free to go through my posting history and see what % of my posts are "political". I'll give you a hint: nearly none.
Meanwhile, you wear your agenda on your sleeve, and it bears out in situations like this in such an obvious fashion.

Maybe I can put EricJ in touch with my friends who are history/science/math/music teachers and he can ask them first hand about the "agendas" they "spew daily".
A totally bullshit comment by an older person who probably hasn't even set foot in a high school classroom for 40+ years designed to be a dog whistle attack at [i]teachers[/i[ of all people.
Matches the watch well. The bow tie invites trouble but he'll get extra female attention out of that.
Got to keep the grades up, if he's a dummy, he's got no ground to stand on, good grades could get him a decent settlement wth NAACP representation.
Welcome to the new "take care of yourself by exploiting national outrage" mentality.
I don't like the haircut, I'd be more concerned with his nutrition but if he's holding his own on performance , it's a look the school needs to deal with.
2. Is it a known rule and told to students parents etc.
3. Are the my infringing on his civil liberities race or religion?
If it's yes yes no. Then bye.
Who's to say what's outlandish anymore?
This hair style isn't exactly new now, nor is it particularly outlandish, imo. If entertainers are wearing it, what's so bad about this kid's hair?
I couldn't pull it off. lol Nor have I ever dyed my hair. But come on people. WTF are you doing?

That's a new one for me.

Fair enough. I didn't intend to take sides. But as someone with a ton of friends who are high school teachers and educated, I took pretty serious issue with someone saying they "spew their agenda daily" without knowing a motherfucking thing about what they're talking about.

Maybe you should just take a few deep breaths. It would be great to come to this site without having to read more hysterical political whining on both sides. His comments on teachers with agendas was stupid. You responding with an equally stupid post on the election makes it worse, not better.
On a serious note, the schools are so fucked up these days with their rules. That kid is no more of a distraction than the nonsense that some of these teachers spew on a daily basis with their political agendas.
He's just a kid. What a shitty post. Not surprising though.
