South Dakota high school says Black student must cut his hair for dress code

He is not new to the school system which has the same requirements throughout. There is nothing in the article about their other kids having had any reason to question the rule about hair. We don't even know if those kids had long hair. The overall administration is the same.
Quit making shit up.
Because they are, at worst, being disingenuous, and at best lying. "Why now?" When they've had other kids go through the school. They know the code. When the student in question is a FRESHMAN! Why now? Because he just walked through the door. It wasn't an issue at the High School until he walked through the door and it became an issue. Then their response is to say "Why now?" and take it to the media? To portray the school, in South Dakota, as racist to a national audience.
F THESE PARENTS!!!
If it's a private school, that's up to them. So is enforcement of the rule.
Same thing as religious--it's something positive and personal. "Race" invokes a negative connotation as though though the person is being discriminated against.
Let me ask you something Riley. Who do you think knows more about this story? The guy in South Dakota that attended Catholic school or you?
Do you even know where O'Gorman HS is? Have you been in the building? Do you know anybody from that school? I can answer YES to every one of those questions.
please show me where this kid has said anything in the article you listed.
GTFO - you have NO WAY of knowing whether this code was known by the parents. If they had not encountered it, why would they know? If it wasn't enforced before, why would they think it would be at high school?
You're the one trying to make this a race thing. I think we all know why.
If you're talking about you, then definitely I know more because you've proven to be ignorant in this thread.
There is just no helping you. They've had two other kids go through the school. EVERY student and parent, and hell, most of the general public, is aware that private schools have dress and appearance codes.
You have no idea what you are talking about with this subject. Just move on.
Okay. Personal knowledge and first hand experiences make me ignorant yet you, who just reads and posts stuff on the internet knows more.
Yeah, we're done here.
The policy is in the student handbook. Page 32. It's very close to the policy at the Catholic HS my son attended in NC. It's usually enforced more strictly when the student participates in extra curricular activities that have spectators.

When my son started high school, I had to go to an orientation, and they went over the handbook. I had to sign some acknowledgements.
The kid and his parents were aware of the rules.

GFY - you have no idea what these people knew other than the hair length restriction was not being upheld.
There are lots of rules that schools and other organizations have that the people involved are not familiar with. You've presented this as a family using race and playing victim - that is not the case. Quit making shit up.
You have NO personal knowledge about this situation. Claiming that you do makes you a liar in addition to your ignorance.
You're presented with rules you have to agree to for countless things such as employee handbooks, web sites, credit cards, etc., etc. etc. that you don't read or commit to memory. The issue here isn't the rule, it's the spotty enforcement and then those on here trying to paint this kid and his family as playing the "race card".
And apparently wasn't, in this case. Thus the questioning now.
If so, it got you. Not surprised.
But, alas, you are wrong again. As usual.
Maybe you can show us where this kid is claiming racism in that article.
I wonder if they would be so quick to ask for hair cuts if all that hair was covering up earings that looked like little prostates. Food for thought...
Just because you get away with speeding on Monday, doesn’t mean you can’t get a ticket on Tuesday.
Another really stupid analogy.
As I said, I think they worked out a reasonable compromise. But the idea that questioning "why now" somehow makes this kid someone who is playing victim and the "race card" is absurd.
Threw you back and caught you again. Fish like you are so dumb.
It wasn't in the handbook? How do you know that? Did you make that up?
“Can students wear dreadlocks? Yes, they can,” Groos said. “We simply want the length of the hair to be at the collar or right above the collar. Right there is what we ask for. To be clean, neat and well-cared for.”
Chloe Goldade, public information officer for the Bishop O'Gorman Catholic Schools system, said Braxton was among "upwards of about 20 male students asked to comply" with the policy since Aug. 18.
The dress code policy at O’Gorman is reviewed every five years, and was last updated in 2018, Groos said.
RileyHawk has plenty of time to browse the web, you don't even have to look for work anymore to collect unemployment.
For goodness sake - take your meds so you can get back to counter punching.
