The dress code bans satin caps and bonnets, which are commonly worn by black women to protect their hair.
Joselyn Lewis, who was there to enroll her daughter in classes, said she thought an administrator had mistaken her for a student when she wasn't allowed in due to her clothing.
Lewis said she was wearing the headscarf because she was in the process of getting her hair done. Headscarves, as well as the banned satin caps and bonnets, are commonly worn by black women to protect their hair. “I’m not saying that it’s a part of my religion, but it could have been, but I just wanted to have it up," Lewis said."Who are you to say that I can’t wear my hair up? In a scarf? Who are you to tell me how to dress?”
