I completely agree with this and it should be made loud enough. 📣 Those schools who force girls to shave their hair as a requirement need to be sanctioned. How can they continue something that stemmed from colonization as a standard of neatness or discipline? Those very ideals were implemented on us to make us more "palatable", to make fit into this ideal that was better for them to control us. It also makes me wonder whether, in some cases, these rules go beyond discipline and lean more into control. Some even frame it as a necessity so that Young girls will be able to focus on their studies. They forget that a person's head carries their glory, and at the top of the head lies the hair. And I may be reaching too far, but forcing girls to wear their hair the same exact way, is formulating a blockade for the glories of these future women to properly develop. I started Jss1 in secondary school and everyone wasn't nearly bald headed like my mum said the school required. I remember being so pained my mum did that to me because she wanted me to focus on my studies.   submitted by   /u/halloffamous [link]   [comments]
