translated from Spanish: They say in school that her hair is “unnatural” and take out it crying (Video)

United States-a video of a student who left the class because the braids violated school rules has generated a discussion about discrimination and lack of understanding on the hair of African American people.
Faith Fennidy, eleven years old, appears in the images posted on Facebook limpiandose tears while he packs belongings at the parish school, Christ the King in Terrytown, Louisiana.
You can hear the mother of Faith, Montrelle, asking a teacher to explain why her daughter braids, which are tied in a ponytail, they violate school policy. “What happens you to your hair? Your hair is OK”, she says.

Private school says that students may not have extensions or hair pieces, which often are used to create braided hairstyles long.

In a statement to the BBC, the Archdiocese of New Orleans said that the only school policy allowed “natural hair”. “This policy was communicated to all parents in the summer and again before the first day of classes, and applied to all students.”
The school offered to the family of the girl the opportunity to comply with the uniform and dress policy, but the family chose to withdraw the student, she was certainly not suspended or expelled.
