A Florida school told a 12-year-old African-American girl that she either does something with her hair or start looking for a new school, ClickOlando.com reported.
Vanessa VanDyke, the girl, told the station that officials at Faith Christian Academy in Orlando are giving her one week. If she chooses to keep her hair as is, the private school, which has rules regarding how students wear their hair, said she is not allowed to attend classes, she told the station.
'I'm depressed about leaving my friends and people that I've known for a while, but I'd rather have that than the principals and administrators picking on me and saying that I should change my hair,' VanDyke told the station.
Her mom told the station that she is standing beside her daughter. One of the rules at the school is that hair should not be a distraction to other students. The mother said 'a distraction to one person is not a distraction to another.'
