A mum has claimed her daughter's school banned the child from the playground and canteen because of her braided hair. But the Catholic school responded to a viral tweet from mother Jade Samuels to insist braids were allowed.
It issued a statement after Ms Samuels's tweet attracted reaction from thousands of social media users. She tweeted: "My child is banned from the school playground/canteen for her hair, its neatly-braided in a natural colour. I gave them a lesson on the history of black women's hairs cultural significance of braiding, they chose violence."
The mum added: "Just for clarity, the issue the school has is with the heart, as if that makes it any less bad," reports Birmingham Live.
