Kenyan Rastafarian Man Sues Nairobi School for Forcing Daughter to Shave Dreadlocks

Pliz take your Kid and Ganja nonsense to Jamaica.😕

Just out of curisity,can birds spot dreadlock and use same defense?Or are their rights limited to only bare necessary for survival.Iam mindful that one can still survive without religion though some might argue otherwise...

@Mgeni1

Na mimi nitakuambia wazi ya kwamba, rudisha biblia yako na ujinga wako wa Mwana Mariamu katika nchi ya Israel!

Binti huyu hakufaa nywele zake zikatwe kwa sababu ni za Kiafrika. Mkuu wa shule hii anafaa pia kufukuzwa na kupelekwa Yuropa ambako inaonekana anapenda nywele ndefu zinazofanana na nywele za kutoka huko.

If this girl had long straight hair she would not have been sent home. This slave/colonial mentality has to stop now enough of this nonesense. @Imara I fully agree with you.

This is an issue in a backward nation that is so focused on non issues that don't have anything to do anyone else. who cares if a student will come to school walking on his/her hands? This is the same issues Africans and African Americans are fighting in the U.S. because the white Americans do not understand the culture of the Black Man. We need to embrace the Rastas and wear them broadly. This non-sense of trying to keep up with the white supremacy and the white standard of beauty needs to be forgotten and buried. If I may ask, why do Lawyers still wear those blonde wigs on their heads after graduation??

Where are the so called devil woshippers; based on above citited constitution it appears they also have a right to worship freely! Now the Constitution and laws are being tested with these new emerging bizzare cases.

I think we have to respect school establishments. UNIFORM policy extends to hair & attire. The man can sue if there was no policy in place at admission. Heck, I hate taking my son to school on an icy/rainy day with ordinary shoes but his school insist no boots (my preferred choice). I respect their rules simply as I grew up under understanding rules are rules and are there to equalise and harmonise order. NB: I am not against dreads but.....point expressed, I hope and yes, some will argue shoes are not a religion.

That's why the black man will have a hard time developing because you have been brainwashed by the white master that anything African is bad you cannot embrace your natural existence. If the lady keeps them neat and clean, the dreadlocks are not the brain of this child. She can still study and be successful. If you can respect the Hindus when they wear their turbans why not respect a fellow African on their view on their religion. I always feel Africans are so quick to embrace foreigners or foreign culture but cannot embrace their own. That's why I think we have a loooong way to develop, being developed is developing the mind too in accepting your own than accepting any other foreign thing.
