Dave Jurgenson, a disabled student has accussed Reading Borough Council for failing his cultural needs because they don't allow him more time to care for his Afro.
Mr Jurgenson’s concerns have been echoed by a race relations expert, who claims the council is being too slow to respond.
The 26-year-old, who suffers from severe cerebral palsy, said more time should be allocated to care for his distinctive Afro-style hair.
He said: “They don’t give me the hours to braid my hair and wash and plait it. If I am invited to go somewhere special I can’t go with a big Afro.
“It’s a matter of grooming. And every time you go to church you want to be able to look your best. If I was in a care home they would do something about it.

Cats are very capable of learning tricks but most people never try to teach their cats any tricks because they think they can't. My cats sit on command and a few other things, they're a little harder to teach than dogs because they aren't as easy to bribe with treats. Some people even train their cats to use a toilet instead of the litter box (I won't go that far).
Cool! Next teach it "search and destroy". Show it a picture of a rodent/bird, tell it "seek", then wait for it to find one and bring it back. :) Hehe.... I wish.
At the moment i am teaching my cat to jump through a hoop. I have a plastic hoop and i hold it upright and hold a treat. I move the treat through the hoop and the cat follows. Once she is ALL the way through i give her the treat while saying "jump". After she gets the hang of it i move it about an inch above the floor and repeat the whole process. Eventually you will get your cat to jump through it when it is about a foot off the ground.

Nice to see some other sweet cats like him out there
Your car?! I do hope you mean cat...if not...that's gotta be a new model of a car.
My sisters cat would always greet her and her husband when they come home and then pretend they don't exist afterwards. ;)
I've had cats that would sit, sit up (beg), come and fetch.
We've even gotten our current pet RABBIT to do some tricks like beg and carrying a plastic pumpkin.
The OWNER is the limitation, not the animal....
i can not teach my cat anything! hehehe
