Not to be a prick, but you've not had the most rosie path ever taken man. I totally agree that stupid, close-minded, ignorant people should be avoided at all cost...but you CAN'T. Avoidance is not a solution...it's delaying the inevitable. You have to DEAL with the issues and work WITH the ignorant. The opportunity to avoid them won't always BE there.

![]() You're missing my point and I haven't really had the questions answered either by the news story I read or anyone in this thread. Is he being asked to conform to something that others are not? Are girls allowed to wear their hair down or do the girls have to tie thier's back? |

I think people need to pick their battles. Hair length is not something to get worked up over, either parents or administrators. I had to wear pantyhose teaching in Aldine.. did it make me a better teacher? NO! Stupid arbitrary rules. Rules against cutting certain words in hair do make sense if they can be gang related. There are a lot of worse things to fight over when it comes to education.. Bullying, actually being taught, is my kid slipping through the cracks because the classes are overcrowded, what is my kid being taught, etc. Save the fights for the important matters.
Little kids can be damaged by events and teasing early in life, without a doubt, and they do remember it if traumatic enough. Kids can be very cruel, they catch onto differences, or insecurities and pick at them for all they are worth... I don't think you should set your kid up for that.. kinda like naming a boy " SUE" .. |

That often requires educating the ignorant...and frankly, that's a lot of heavy lifting.

I guess girls are allowed to have long hair. I don't know. Go to Texas and find out. I guess if another boy was to have long hair, they would do this to him as well. They had a list of hair rules they showed in the video. See if you can find it.

I understand fitting in with society...but not wearing long hair isn't part of that to me and as a parent I feel it is my right to do whatever I want to my kid's hair. Quote:
Yea, I'm lookin for a video too, in my inbox. Make it happen.

Did you suddenly go femininazi? OK - so you're going to read that and freak out, please don't. I just don't recall you ever getting on that pedistal. And, fair has nothing to do with this. "Fair" is a hippy thing - our society has different rules from time to time for different genders. They do NOT always make sense... and I do not always agree with them.
