Good "open minded schools" in east Texas? (around Tyler maybe?)
Hi, I was looking to find a school in East Texas, preferrably around Tyler that are not closed minded on males with long hair and peircings. We have two teenage boys in high school, both have hair past the collar, and one has pierced lip. The school they currenty go to is great, very good school that does not judge people on their looks. I have been told Austin is the place to be because they just don't care! You can be gay, have spikes in your head, whatever~ being weird is normal there~ people are not judged~
But we are originally from the East Texas region, and since we have so much family that lives there we would like to stay in that area. So if anyone has any information please share~ Thanks so much!!

Long hair with piercings it not uncommon in Texas; I would assume as well as East Texas.However, It's been a while since I've been to Tyler though. |

You should probably check the dress codes of the school districts you are interested in and see what the rules are as far as length of hair and piercings on boys.

Every school district is required to have printed copies of school regulations, including dress codes, available for parents/students. Many of them have them online on their district website.
