It seems the case is about the lady trying to act tough, show off combined with a lawyer who want to leap even when she finds the chances of winning being remote.Its a private school.If the rule is no dreadlocks,look for another school or start one. njuguna1

If you take a child to a school, follow the rules there. It is a private school for God's sake. In other news, in Isiolo Muslim girls came to a Methodist school with hijabs and white trousers. they were asked to dress appropriately, they protested, broke windows and threatened teachers and Christian students.. What are we raising? In our days, some schools required girls to cut their hair, and people did not die! They grew their hair after school. Shindwe ....above all, to stand.

High Court Orders Students Not To Wear Hijabs - RINKC&P The High Court has stopped Muslim students at a secondary school in Isiolo County from wearing hijabs and trousers. Mr Justice Nzioki wa Makau ruled that pending determination of a case by the Methodist Church, no student at St Paul Kiwanjani High School will wear Muslim attire. “An order is issued restraining the Teachers Service Commission, Isiolo County director of education and district education officer from allowing Muslim students to wear hijabs at St Paul Kiwanjani Secondary, contrary to school rules and regulations,” ruled Justice Makau. The Methodist Church, through lawyer Henry Kurauka, went to court seeking orders to stop the students from putting on Muslim attire in school. The church argued that the school was a church-sponsored institution and its rules do not allow Muslims to wear the special attire since it amounts to discriminating against Christian students. “The school uniform has never been an issue until June when deputy governor requested that Muslim students wear hijabs and trousers as well,” said Mr Kurauka. “When schools reopened, Muslim girls arrived wearing hijabs, white trousers and open shoes, in disregard of the uniform,” he added.

Its it a public school? Or is it private/owned by the church? Lord, thank you!

As expected she lost the case, Schools must be left to govern themselves, idle rich parents wajipe shughuli!!!!!..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Absolutely true. Even if she had won, Rusinga would have been a toxic environment for the kid. Boy would have been the kid not to touch (by the teachers and students) lest they are taken to court. I give that parent an F for fail in parenting skills. Poor gudgement etc.. unless she was looking for a moment of fame in which case she was acting in her own interest and not the interest of the child which contravenes the convention on the rights of the child. Lord, thank you!

Interesting observation ........... stolen from elsewhere:
C&P
Kenyans and their beaten down self esteem and cultural
confusion...No one had a problem with schoolgirls being put
through blow dry torture to "straighten their hair like
mzungu"....No one has a problem with women (even teachers
in that very school) walking around with horsehair weaves and
wigs to cover up their African hair....British colonial disdain for
our tough woolly hair (that curls naturally by the way) has
been hammered into our heads so much that when someone
sports natural hair proudly, people shudder.....Now having
dreadlocks is disguised and discussed as a matter of morality
and Christianity....What has long natural hair got to do with
morality or Christianity...The school can make up all its crazy
rules but it should never associate Morality or Christianity
with its disdain for dreadlocks....that is from its British
colonial heritage and their efforts to make Africans fit mzungu
standards....Boys cut off your hair, girls straighten yours or
cover it up with this smelly thing from a horse......Jesus
himself, the founder of Christianity was a long
hair! !!!!......Rubbish ni hypocrisy ya wakenya

Also
C&P
AMAZING....."A christian school and does not accept
dreadlocks".....because in the gospel of Luke chapter bullcrap,
Jesus said...."Verily verily I say unto you niggers.....If you do
not have soft hair like mine do not allow it to grow.....Your
sort of hair is due to a grave mistake made by my father
above while creating you...please cut it off or cover it with
wigs and weaves, and my father will be pleased"

So in that school the caucasians are free to grow their hair long, but they are lucky their hair happens to be naturally straight and thus the authorities are happy with it. But when some black kid also grows his hair long like his classmates, but due to his genetic makeup the hair becomes kinky and dready, which is a natural phenomenon, the school complains. And this is a school that purports to embrace diversity and multiculturalism? Sad! They shouldn't persecute that kid. A black man's long hair shouldn't be treated differently from a white man's long hair. We are all humans.The alternative would be to have all pupils, whether black or white, have their hair short. Otherwise it would be discriminatory (and against universal human rights) to allow a white kid to have long hair but demand that a kid who happens to be black to cut his long hair. This kid should only cut his hair only after all his classmates,white and black, cut theirs. We are all equal, though created differently.

Let the mother take the kid where hair is more important than anything else. Kuharibu watoto with frivolous nonsense like this is inexcusable. It will do this boy a world of good to have him chop off those locks and look like a pupil, not like some ganja-smoking rasta vagabond. In this mother I see the type of parents who think their kids are special. The types who can sue you just because your kid beat up theirs while playing. 6 year old with dreadlocks? Silly! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Even the white hairs for boys are not allowed to grow beyond certain lengths. They keep then short but coz of their genetic makeup they remain staight hence looking longer. In any case there are unwritten rules that govern our way of life and short hair for boys is one of them. Huyu mama just wanted a moment of fame sadly its at the expense of the child. Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

Very wrong. Insulting even. The assumption that someone's creation is different from another's implies inherent and insurmountable inequality. As if the creator had different strokes for different folk. The slavedriver's mentality and justification. That an African can use that argument is saddening. We are different though created equally. That, in contrast, is more appropriate and theologically sound and is as it should be. Hence, the black African reasoning ati "Because the white man has long hair, I should also have in order to be equal." is dealt a death blow. Just because someone has long hair does not necessarily mean to be equal to him I too must have long hair. With my short hair I am equal to him with long hair. We are different though created equally! Glad to note most members saw the folly in the accuser's arguments and chose to be on the side of sound reason.
