"How long are you rocking that hairstyle?"

That's what 17-year-old Jenesis Johnson alleges her teacher asked about her hair. Then the student was called into the assistant principal's office.

The "hairstyle" Johnson was "rocking"? Her natural afro.

"She said that my hair needs to be fixed...."

Johnson told local news affiliate WCTV of Tallahassee, Florida, her teacher "said that my hair needs to be fixed, it was not neat and needs to be put in a style." After being sent to the assistant principal's office at North Florida Christian School, Johnson said she was told, "your hair is extreme and faddish and out of control. It's all over the place."

This didn't make much sense to Johnson. "It hurts me," she said. "It's hurting me. For my people behind me, the younger ones, they're going to have hair like me. Why can't they wear their natural hair?"

This is only the most recent story involving black students being punished for their natural hair.

As Willie Burnley Jr. reported for ATTN: on Friday, "16-year-old Montverde Academy student Nicole Orr was told that her hair, which was in its natural curly state, was against the school’s dress code." Orr is also from Florida.

Like Orr, Johnson was also told her hair defied the school dress code.

WCTV reports Johnson's school dress code reads: "No faddish or extreme hairstyles, and hair should be neat and clean at all times."

ATTN: reached out to North Florida Christian for comment but did not hear back.

Lisa Johnson, Jenesis' mother, told WCTV: "You might say that it didn't fit the handbook. But I saw, and what she heard is a woman telling her that she's not pretty; her hair does fit society."

What happened to Johnson highlights the racial prejudice against black students' natural hair.

Burnley Jr. also reported on Friday for ATTN: that two black 15-year-olds in Boston were similarly reprimanded for having their hair in braids.

The teens, who are twin siblings, actually faced suspension as a punishment for their braided hair.

"People have no idea, nor do they care about, the natural state of our hair," Erica Adkins tweeted on Saturday regarding Johnson. "What other group has to defend their natural hair that God made?"
