Jamaica’s Supreme Court Says School Can Ban Dreadlocks

After a 2-year legal battle, the Supreme Court of Jamaica has ruled that Kensington Primary School in Kingston, Jamaica can ban dreadlocks.
It is important to note this ruling applies to this school, not to all schools in Jamaica.
The school told a then-5-year old girl she had to cut her locs for 'hygiene' reasons if she wanted to attend.
She was allowed to remain at the school while the case was decided.
Many in Jamaica see the ruling as discrimination against natural hair wearers and a violation of freedom of expression.
Are you surprised by the ruling?
