boy suspended from school for long hair

I realize that schools often require children to wear uniforms, but is it typical to have a hair length policy for males? This boy has nice hair, probably some jealous baldie suspended him.

    suspending kids for the length of their hair is absolutely ridiculous.

    I agree it is wrong to suspend. But he got suspended from 5th grade, forgot how many weeks. It's his second time. This is affecting his education. His Mom better do something, get a lawyer like she said, change schools, or cut his hair. Or home school.

  • Stupid rule... I'd disagree with, but understand rules against maybe some crazy distracting hairstyle or unnatural hair color, etc., but length of hair? Idiotic...


    That being said, the kid should cut his hair lol... when I first saw him on the video, I thought he was a girl :)

    Good for them. Some must fight for the rights that bring change in policy. My child was suspended for carrying a cell phone! Now see how that has changed. Parents unit, demand change, we all pick our battles, it is the way of the world. Too bad a lawyer needs to get involved in something like this though, dumb, one would think a petition and a little common sense would be enough. Back in the 70's we had a lot of ponytails going on. Seems very weird it would be an issue. I wonder if it is an issue to shave ones head also in this school district.

    no it's not. stupid is licking a fire... not thinking that someone with very long hair is a girl.

    I didn't say (or do I assume) that anyone with long hair looks like a girl... But in the video, this kid looks like a girl, that was my observation.

    If you think it's a stupid statement then that's your observation. See, we both made observations/statements :)

    without rules there is anarchy. don't like the rules send your kid to another school. some parents will stand up for their kids even when they knowingly break the rules. what lesson does that teach a kid? that mommy and daddy will take care of everything. sorry if a rule is in place, no matter how ridiculous, work to change it, but until it is changed follow the darn rules.

    since when does a public school give a rat's ass about male hair length? goofy ass texas town.
    i think the school district should be burnt to the ground and the authority figures beat with molten lava.

    your mom was out of her mind.
