Other states with similar issues
In the state of New Jersey, for example, the outrage was met there over a similar issue. But this time it was dealing with a high school sporting event and the teenager in question had no choice but to comply. During a wrestling match, a teenage African American student was forced to cut his dreadlocks in order to compete.
The video stirred huge amounts of anger online and received a reaction from the state governor who condemned the actions of the sporting committee and voiced support for the student. It seems like this fight is far from over, but we are sure glad that it is being confronted and noticed.
