Exactly, which is what I think everytime something like this is reported in the news.

It's so utterly predictable. Grade school/high school student decides to do or wear something that's against school rules. School says no. Parents decide to take it to the media in the hopes of viral outrage and support against those 'evil' and 'tyrannical' school overlords. Public masses take it hook line and sinker and starts Facebook support page, to be followed by the gofundme account.

These rules aren't anything draconian or harsh, sheesh.

I think schools WAY overstep their bounds when they start dictating which hairstyles/haircuts are acceptable and which are not. As long as hair is clean, what does it matter what it looks like?


P.S. It is kind of funny to me, though, that when I was a teen around 1970, boys got into trouble in many schools for wearing their hair too long! How times have changed.

Of course there should be some rules we would not want kids coming in wearing almost nothing but what does having a certain hairstyle reallly hurt anything?

Ask the school board. My opinion doesn't count.

Why would you shave a head because it was dirty? That makes no sense.
