    What’s lost when we photograph life instead of experiencing it? Very well written |

    Insanity. Forcing one group to cut their hair. Teaching them that they can't govern their own bodies.

    This short hair policy in schools needs to be revised. Such policies breed discrimination & racism |

    This policy while well intended is very discriminatory and lays a foundation for self hate

    . What do you think about this & it's implications on our future women leaders? |

    What is this? Would be nice if educators spent more time helping students become independent thinkers than obedient order-takers.

    . As the new min of education my plea is that we can revise such policies that are meant to divide us.

    short hair policies = another example of how our schools promote conformity and suppress individuality. And end up doing more harm

    The slight implication that girls with long hair attract rapists & defilers is absurd and insane.

    in other countries, if you have long hair and in school, that means you are posh. Girls should be allowed to be girls

    If the school's policy is to maintain short hair then all girls of all races should maintain the same length. Uniformity you say.

    First things first: there's no correlation between long hair and poor performance. Many schools in UG use this to oppress girls

    How about putting a rule that says, you can grow your hair provided you keep it to some degree of standard?

    What's sad is that we're teaching our 'African' girls that their hair is not beautiful, it's messy, it can't be maintained.

    Schools need to develop policies that apply equally to all students. I wouldn't mind about the if applies equally to all.

    I've seen the same at a school in Tanzania. Schools have inherited and still maintain colonial policies, smh.

    The fact that a biracial or asian child is allowed to keep her hair because of the smooth texture and the african isn't is just repressive
