Pittsburgh High School Students Fighting ‘Outdated’ Hair Policy, Claim it’s Racially Biased

Some Pittsburgh high school students are fighting what they call an outdated hair policy, a policy they claim is racially biased. An African American student at Central Catholic High School was recently told to change his hair or go home. The dress code at Central Catholic prohibits lines, braids, locks and twists – but some students say that rule is outdated in 2020. Now his classmates are getting signatures from students in an effort to convince the administration to change its hair policy. The students say those styles are a part of the African American culture…and they plan to give the signed petition to school leaders.
