NAACP Legal Defense Fund asks Florida to take action against schools that ban dreadlocks, braids

The civil rights organization submitted a letter to the Florida Department of Education (DOE) earlier this month calling out private schools over policies that ban "dreads," "dread-lock style haircuts," "twists," "locs" and "braids."
