A London school’s ban of the cornrows hairstyle resulted in “unlawful, indirect racial discrimination”, the High Court has ruled.
Mr Justice Collins said the ban by St Gregory’s Catholic Science College in Harrow was not unlawful in itself, but should have taken into account individual pupils’ family traditions.

I’m so happy to hear this!! I didn’t comment on the original post because i was away on holiday. But just because you don’t like something don’t mean some shouldn’t wear it. Plus it was blatant discrimination! I don’t like a lot of things…but people do have the right to do what they feel. And in this case wear his hair the way he want. So happy about this… But what was sad was how so many was agreeing that he shouldn’t have cornrows! It is a part of our culture…what was so hard to understand about that. Next some will be saying we can’t wear Afro’s..because they have fallen for the mainstream…telling our women straight hair is the only way they look good… not! Each to his own…that is what i always say…what do you say…..
