That is until Monday, when the principal at Gladewater High School, Cathy Bedair called Hooper’s mom to tell her the hairstyle violated the school dress code.
“I said no ma’am; there is no reason that she should have to hide or take her hair down when she’s worn her hair [in braids] throughout the school year,” Kieana Hooper, who is white, told Essence.
Hooper’s mom told the principal she refuses to make her daughter, who maintains an A-average and volunteers with hospice patients and special-needs children, change her hair for the ceremony.

A ZIMBABWE Revenue Authority (Zimra) officer based at Plumtree Border Post was jailed an effective six years for defrauding the tax collector of over US$500 000, excluding local currency, in illegal clearance of cars, giving them certificates of clearance used to clear groceries, blankets and household goods.
For counts 1 to 20 she was sentenced to eight years in prison, while for counts 21 to 40 she was sentenced to six years, bringing the total to 14 years.
Prosecutor Robin Mukura told the court that between January and June last year, Maphosa cleared several state-of-the-art vehicles, understating their values while using fake clearance certificates.
On the first count, it was said on January 7 last year, Maphosa cleared a 2011 Isuzu KB300, a 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser and a 2009 Toyota Land Cruiser with clearance certificates used by Tanwell Mutore, Bonnie Moyana and Loice Chicheke to clear groceries, a blanket and household goods, respectively.
The following day, Maphosa also cleared a 2000 Nissan Hardbody single cab and a 2010 Toyota Hilux single-cab with clearance certificates belonging to Monica Muropa and Venita Chasale used to clear a stove and
blanket.
