You cannot impose that anyone cut their hair in a Constitutional American society.
Being school is a taxpayer funded program that is mandatory, you cannot impose that someone cut their hair, or even take a bath for that matter. Your denying equal service to all Americans.
This whole thing reminds me so much of what happened about long hair at my school in the early 70s. A long hair stomped up to me and said that he would have his hair long and I couldn't stop him from coming out for basketball. My reply was that according to the courts I had to allow him to take part but it was, in fact, up to me as the coach to determine who got a uniform and then sat on my bench. I told him that he had to attend school, according to the law, and therefore we couldn't force him to cut his hair but nobody forced him by law to come out for basketball and I was the final law there. He came out about 3 practices and decided he didn't want to work that hard to prove his point.
Yes, there were 12 years difference in his age and that of this little kid but this one probably wouldn't have the long hair if his mother didn't want it that way.
One fo my best friends has a son with long, LONG hair. It is really gorgeous, blonde curly hair. It has been that way since he was 2 yrs old. He has never known anything else.
My problem with this is that people are constantly remarking on what an adorable DAUGHTER my friend has. Kids under 7 yrs old don't really have any masculine traits anyway. So, the poor kid is constantly telling people, "I'M A BOY!"
Um...time to change schools? The school should not be worried about what someone wears, or how they groom themselves. They need to focus on education. When I was in High School, I started to grow a full beard because some classmates said I couldnt. I was pulled into the office and told to shave. I was a senior and I knew better, so I told them no. I wouldnt shave it. I pointed out some teachers had beards so why couldnt a student? They never bothered me again.
If the kid just isnt clean then call cps, but if the kid is clean and just has long hair...their is nothing they can do about it. It is not a crime for a boy to have long hair. Call Obama, maybe he can settle this...oh, wait..the kids white isnt he? Darn, better shave his head.
Have you seen the kid's picture, yet? I have and it appears to me that he may be blind now and then. He is only 4 and that may make it tough for him to keep it groomed.
I'd like to know how the "wants" and "wishes" of a 4-year old trump parental responsibility? Who cares what a 4 year old wants? These parents need to get their heads out of their asses and stop impeding school officials' ability to do their job teaching.
Break out those g*****n scissors and get that boy back in the classrom.
Scissors, hell. Shears would be more like it and take a lot less time.
If God wanted my hair to be two inches long, it would stop growing at that point. Why does Texas mock God?
Now I know why my barber (my wife) cuts min down to 3/8 inch at my request when it gets too near 2 inches. God made me pretty bald but failed to do the job completely.
I dont believe a school should be telling a child about sex that is the parents role. I also dont believe a school should be saying a child cant attend if their hair is a certain length.
I agree.
The school should not even discuss it at all, that is for the parent to do.
We will find out something else about this that caused this because no fool is that stupid to take this to this without something else being the real issue.
How does a child having long hair interfere with the ability of someone to teach?
If the mother is so bent on long hair can't you see that she has already told the kid that the teachers really don't know their hindquarters from page 9?
