Schools should be allowed to enforce dress code rules as they see fit. This includes hair length, visible tattoo's and piercings (cover them and don't wear piercings), dyed hair, etc. Nothing new. When living in Kentucky, we had a strict dress code that included hair length and other items of interest.
Of course because the dress codes fit your character just fine.
But if it was against your character or beleifs, you would protest.
Seems you have little regard for values which others hold that are different than your own.
And who makes these dress codes? Its not like they an uncontrolable act of nature.
I can't watch the video but I honestly don't understand the big deal with hair length. Didn't something like this happen last year too? Several of my son's friends have longer hair. One little boy in his class last year had beautiful hair. I swear if you didn't know better you would have thought he was girl b/c it was so thick and just pretty hair. No one bothered him. I didn't know who he was when he cut it! Why does everyone think they have the right to tell others how their kids should look? It's really ridiculous especially when they are 5. None of those kids care. As they get older and clothes and hair can cause fights, it might be wise to have guidelines that are enforced but nothing extreme. Kids need to be safe but they also don't need to be told how they can wear their hair.
Its not abiding by anything, its live and let live, its minding your own business, something Americans can't ever seem to do both as private citizens and government though we love making the propaganda up that we do. But at least we are past the separate but equal phase.

Exactly.
I am SO glad I can utilize my choice as a taxpaying citizen to send my children to a publicly funded charter school, where they focus on educating the kids instead of dictating ridiculous conformity of dress and appearance.
I'd be much more supportive of a dress code for this TOWN that prohibited mullets. I find that mullet-woman's hair (in the video) much more distracting than that adorable little boy's braids.
"It's part of who we are. It's part of what we believe in. It's part of what makes us Native American. To strip our hair would be to strip our spirit, which is far beyond stripping any religion."
I bet they would welcome Celine Dion's son with open arms, his mom being "famous" and all.
