Kindly explain why it is necessary to cut a child's hair on the school property, during school hours WITHOUT CONSENT FROM THE PARENT(S)!!!

I emphasized that part in bold capital letters because that happened.

Here's the link for more context.

The reason I am angry about this is because a little girl named Jurnee is sad because her hair was cut without her mother's or father's consent.

In December of 2009, a teacher cuts off a girl's braid with the beads in front of her classmates because she was playing with her beads.

In Texas, a young man was made to fill in parts of his haircut with black permanent marker to avoid in school suspension.

In Texas, a student was barred from graduation for refusing to cut his dreadlocks.

A Kansas cheerleader was removed from her team for wearing braids and a bonnet to practice. And unfortunately yes, there are claims of racist rants because of the braids.

When I hear stories like this, I know in my heart of hearts it's time to push for the CROWN Act.

I support this legislation not only for Black men and women who wish to groom and care for their natural hair; it's also for the kids.

Not every human being wants to put chemicals into his or her hair. I get that. Not every human being is born with straight hair.

Natural hair deserves loving care, not policing.

Consent policies are necessary before taking matters into your own hands.

Thanks for coming to this TED talk!
