She included a photo of the hair/personal grooming portion of the dress code at the Butler Traditional High School in Louisville, which states there are to be no “dreadlocks, cornrolls [sic], twists, mohawks” and no “Afros more than two inches in length.”

Scott’s daughter Ashanti, 15, will be entering her sophomore year at the Louisville public school.
