JOHANNESBURG: A South African school was ordered on Tuesday to suspend allegedly racist hairstyle regulations after black pupils said they had been called monkeys by teachers for wearing banned ‘afros’.
Local education authorities in Gauteng province gave Pretoria High school for Girls 21 days to re-assess its rules after protests by students triggered a public dispute over alleged racism. The prestigious school in the capital Pretoria was historically attended by whites only but it admitted black children following the end of apartheid in 1994. Some pupils said they were forced to chemically straighten their hair and **t wear afro hairstyles that were deemed untidy. After visiting the school on Monday for talks with senior staff and students, provincial education minister Panyaza Lesufi said a probe into the allegations would be launched. "Learners feel that they are **t allowed to wear Black hairstyles, such as Afro. Specifically, the school policy limits the length of the hairstyle," the ministry said in a statement. أكثر... ??????? ??????: S African school told to halt ?racist? hair policy || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
