On September 13, 2019, the High Court made a significant ruling in favor of Rastafarian students, ordering schools not to expel students with dreadlocks.
The court's decision is a major win for the Rastafarian community, who have long faced discrimination and marginalization in Kenyan schools.
According to reports, the court ruled that schools cannot expel students based on their hairstyle, citing the need to protect the rights of all students, regardless of their cultural or religious background.
While the ruling is a significant step forward, it remains to be seen how schools will implement the decision and whether it will lead to greater acceptance and inclusivity for Rastafarian students.
