Fellow Comrades plus Friends,
This morning, the school professionals of Achimota School stated that their rules do not let students with dreadlocks to become admitted. The school authorities refused two brilliant dreadlock college students from being admitted right after having been posted there from the Computer School Placement Program. My son was among the affected children and the some other student was also refused on a single grounds. We have no choice but to battle against this major human right violation.
Since a child he has every right to their culture in so far as this kind of culture do not breach the particular 1992 Constitution. He similarly deserves the right to access education and learning within his culture much like other cultural believers. Being a Rastafarian, I think that dreadlocks do no way cause any kind of harm which should even become a basis to be asserted by school authorities.
The fundamental queries to ask is what will our law say regarding right to one’s culture? Would you deny a child access to training based on his/her culture? Perform public school rules override the supreme law from the land?
Tomorrow I will be upon TV3 to share some gentle. Will give update on time.
Thanks to the Solidarity.
