An 8-year-old girl in Michigan was barred from taking a photo on school picture day because her hairstyle was deemed “extreme.” Now, her parents are speaking out about the incident, saying “race has everything to do with this.” The third-grader at Paragon Charter Academy in Jackson, Michigan had her hair specially done in braids wrapped into a bun by her mom LaToya Howard for the big day. But after leaving the house feeling camera ready with her black and red extensions, Marian Scott came home feeling defeated. “Marian had called from a friend of mine’s phone who saw Marian walking down the hallway going to the office,” Howard tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “She cried and I told her that she did not do anything wrong.”
According to Howard, Marian was told by her principal that she wasn’t allowed to get her photo taken. But Howard says that they should have communicated that with her and her fiancé, Doug Scott, first. Instead, Marian was sent back to her classroom and told that she could get her pictures done in November. Howard wrote on Facebook that she’d be taking her money to purchase photos elsewhere.
