On Saturday night, Kenyans on social media were engaged in a heated debate over a girl who was chased out of school due to her dreadlocks.

The girl who had just joined Form 1 in one of Nairobi's secondary schools, only lasted a few days at the institution before being called by the deputy principal who told her to choose between “beauty” or education.

The girl's family says the dreadlocks are part of their Rastafarian religion which they strictly adhere to.

Surprisingly, the girl comfortably went through a public primary school education with her dreadlocks.

Kenyans had a lot to say about the matter, with majority of them rallying in support of the young girl.
