School's refusal to let boy wear cornrow braids is ruled racial discrimination

guardian.co.uk: "A school's anti-gang ban on unconventional hairstyles has resulted in 'unlawful, indirect racial discrimination which is not justified', the high court has ruled.

The test case decision is a victory for the family of African-Caribbean teenager 'G', who wears his hair in cornrow braids as part of a family tradition.

G, who cannot be named, and his mother challenged a refusal by St Gregory's Catholic Science College in Kenton, Harrow, north London, to let G through the school gates with his braids in September 2009, when he was 11."
