African- American teen Vanessa Dyke who schools at Faith Christian Academy, a private school in Orlando since the third grade has been threatened with expulsion if she doesnt 'cut' and 'shape' her hair.

She says:

"It says that I'm unique," said VanDyke. "First of all, it's puffy and I like it that way. I know people will tease me about it because it's not straight. I don't fit in."

Apparently, it seems the school has has a dress code and rules against how students can wear their hair.

The student handbook reads: "Hair must be a natural color and must not be a distraction," and goes on to state examples that include, but are not limited to, mohawks, shaved designs and rat tails.

But the mother doesn't seem to find how her hair violates the school rules. She says:

A distraction to one person is not a distraction to another," said VanDyke's mother, Sabrina Kent. "You can have a kid come in with pimples on his face. Are you going to call that a distraction?..."I'm going to fight for my daughter. If she wants her hair like that, she will keep her hair like that. There are people out there who may think that natural hair is not appropriate. She is beautiful the way she is."

Lachynos2k2: WILL U TRIM DAT SMELLY BUSH U CALL HAIR!

Why on earth will you say that?

Wow! Beautiful girl....beautiful hair

The school is just being jealous

Wow! Beautiful hair! They should sue the school.

What a pretty girl with lovely hair, me sef go wan do yanga if I had that kain hair but rules are rules. Imagine her sitting in class, the pupil directly behind her might not be able to see properly with all that hair in the way. She can have it braided or packed in a neat bun for school. For weekends and school breaks, she can then leave it to fall freely the way she likes.

Nonsense! The school is asking that the parents make their daughter's hair less bulky, is that wrong. What happened to corn rows and packing of hair. This is an example of people who just want to look for trouble
