Guadeloupe: A high school forbids afro cuts because they are "strange"

    Hair cuts of all kinds have been banned in a private high school in Baie-Mahault Guadeloupe, said Caribbean International Radio (CIR), that questions the controversy from social networks.

    A new that went viral after posting a photo of a poster bearing the title of "unauthorized women's / men's haircuts at Bel Air high school.

    Afro cut, dreadlocks and unconventional dyes for women, waves, curls, and locks or even degraded banned also for boys. Even Kit Harington, the actor playing Jon Snow in the hit series Game of Thrones, finds himself on the banned cuts panel.

    A rule validated by the parents of students
    The school services indicated that it was a rule of procedure decision taken to adapt students to a less demanding eccentric work environment. "We are not against a student having an afro but it must be maintained," said a representative of the management, which states that the provision was validated by the parents of students of the high school.

    The posters have been removed eventually.
