Hair Codes

 Black parents also have to worry about their children being harassed,  bullied or publicly humiliated by adults.   "When bullying is racially motivated, there are additional potential  consequences—the child may internalize the messages of their bullies and  come to feel that being black is a negative characteristic!"

Sexual Objectification

In 2017,  a study by Georgetown Law’s Center on Poverty and Inequality found that adults see black girls as appearing older, more developed,  and more sexually aware than white girls, even when they are the same  age.

about us!

BLACKOUT: THE MISEDUCATION OF BLACK GIRLS

 The sexual objectification of black girls' hair, skin, and body may have  later academic and social implications that are often overlooked and  unexplored. We want to provide a clear  understanding of how the education system has contributed to existing  stereotypes of the black female as angry and sexual beings by the  enforcement of unfair dress and hair code policies and the implementation of inequitable discipline practices for violations of  these policies. 

A variety of voices on this issue will be explored and shared so that we can start acknowledging the problem, identifying when it happens, and working on a solution. The conversations MUST turn into action if we are to give black girls a fighting chance to live, grow, and thrive.
