Farouk James lives with his mother Bonnie in the UK. He is only 11 years old.

And no, it’s not about behavior or grades.

As you can probably already see, Farouk has incredibly luxurious hair. James’s parent has still not been able to find a school for her son. And the reason for such misadventures was precisely the boy’s hair. You see, many British schools, even in 2024, have very serious rules regarding the appearance of students.

One of these relates to hair length. Therefore, the administration of educational institutions often raises questions about Faruk’s hair. Like, why doesn’t the boy get rid of such long hair? He’ll get his hair cut and then he’ll be able to attend school. But no, there is no trial.

“We will fight”
Bonnie rightly considers such a demand unreasonable. First of all, Farouk’s hair is completely natural. They were not painted, much less laid. Secondly, if some girl had such uniqueness, they wouldn’t even say a word against her. So we are dealing with discrimination?

Interestingly, Farouk’s mother had problems with school even with her eldest son. True, his hair was “too short” for educational institutions. Ten years have passed since then. And, of course, Bonnie believed that schools had managed to reconsider their appearance policies during this time . Unfortunately, many of them remained unchanged.

However, the woman clearly does not intend to tolerate this. Along with other parents who faced similar problems, Bonnie launched a campaign for change. “We will fight this until the rules change. And this will happen all over the world, not just within the UK.”
