  people not a place of beauty and fashion contest.

  To the west, its world rule order, which all must respect irrespective of what define their national aspirations and interest.
  There is a little animal that a type of srim that lives in the shell of shell animals in the ocean.
  We don't see Caucasian, Mongoroid and Semitic women wearing African hair styles, it's only Negro women who wear Caucasian, Mongoroid and Semitic women hairstyles.
  In nature if a dog which is afraid hides behind another dog because of the type of hair it has, we shall realize that the former see itself as being inferior to the later.
  I don't see it as an enlightenment when a Negro woman wears the hair of a Caucasian, Mongolian and Semitic. From the unset, that Negro not depending on his or her place in society is expressing her inferiority complex, vis a vis to a Caucasian, Mongolian and a Semitic.

  Hairstyle doesn't improve the quality of our education. Western world policies improve their country and some of our policies set us back.
  
  Give our children the right to groom and dress properly.
  Our children MUST compete with the modern world not the primitive way of way of life. WE MUST NOT SURPRESS OUR YOUNG GIRLS. It's wrong and has nothing to do with improving the quality of education.

  "Ensure discipline" in the learning institutions. The hair creates difficulties for students hence , removing it will enable them to achieve more and compete more.

  GHANA HAS ITS OWN TRADITIONS, CULTURES AND CUSTOMS, PERIOD !!! WE SHOULD NOT BE IMITATING WESTERN COUNTRIES. IMITATION OF WESTEERN COUNTRIES IS ONE REASONS WHY WE CANNOT FLUENTLY SPEAK OUR OWN LANGUAGES, WHEN WE ARE CONVERSING. DO THE ENGLISH COUNTRIES INTERTWINE THEIR CONVERSATIONS WITH FRENCH OR TWI OR HAUSA OR IGBO WORDS ??? YET AFRICANS, ESPECIALLY, GHANAIANS AND NIGERIANS ARE COMMONLY KNOWN TO BE DOING THAT. ARE WE REALLY INDEPENDENT ???

  I think you have really proven a point for maintaining low hair cuts in schools except following in the theory of Child development. Even aside the Psychological implications, for me, you have proven a point
