The NAACP Legal Defense Fund is now joining the fight of a Black student at BYU-Hawaii who has been pushing for months for the religious school to change its policies on hairstyles after he says he was told to cut his locs.
Kanaan Barton has been fighting the grooming rules that he says were used to discriminate against him.
“Together, we can work to ensure that students at BYU-Hawaii, regardless of race or ethnicity, are in spaces where they feel safe and their rights are upheld,” the letter continues. The Honor Code previously said that men should have their hair “trimmed above the collar, leaving the ear uncovered.” That language was removed in an update last year.that accompanies the current version of the Honor Code adds that the intent remains for “hair to be cut short and neatly trimmed” for men. But it also doesn’t include the “above the collar” reference or any measurements for acceptable lengths.
