I got this story from a Legitimate Source... Regarding the on going Racial Policies Protest about #Natural #Hair

The Petoria High School For Girls... Told her Student that they must wear relax hair to school, No more Natural Hair


The young women have been told to relax their hair and have been ridiculed by teachers and school officials.

The protest was lead by 13 yr old Zulaikha Patel who has
had to change schools 3 times due to her hair. Zulaikha and
her classmates show just the level of strength and power
they have as young ladies fighting this fight for the entire
world of black women and men.
Girls came to the school on civvies day with the
intent to carry on as normal while wearing all black
garments and doeks.
Instead of attempting to start a meaningful
dialogue, security guards loosely patrolled the
outside assembly. Girls wearing doeks that sported
the ANC logo were pulled from assembly and taken
into the headmistress’s office.

Teachers told learners in classrooms that they felt
threatened and scared. Because black girls in
colourful doeks are something to be feared. After
school, groups of black girls were repeatedly told to
disperse because they “appeared to be conspiring”.


”The general consensus of the demonstration on”
Friday was that we were seen, but not heard. And
this was unacceptable. So, once again, black girls
mobilised.
We decided that during the school’s annual spring
fair, we as black students would meet at the netball
courts to hold hands and walk to the front of the
school. No shouting, no dancing, no struggle songs.
A silent walk of sisters, hand in hand. Before the
group could get a head start, the security guards
shut the gates, forcefully pushing girls backwards
and reporting the procession as a “ snaakse groep”.
When the gates re-opened, attention was on us.
Girls proceeded to walk to the front of the school
and upon their arrival were met with a police car,
extra security force and members of the governing
body threatening to arrest girls as young as 14. All
the while raffle tickets continued to be sold in the
background.
In a scenario that should have sparked more anger
and unrest, there was a weariness. A sense of
fatigue. We were shown, once again, that our voices
don’t matter. That our anger is unfounded. That our
emotions are an inconvenience.
When we were taken into an empty classroom to
have a “discussion” with members of the governing
body (who proceeded to tell us that we didn’t need
to “add on” to already discussed issues and that
cultural appropriation should be seen as a
compliment), we felt ourselves being swept under
the rug again. Our collective story was just another
to be lost in the school files, labelled “we looked
into it.”
