Would you let your son have long hair?

Me too! Everyone should be held to the same standard.

Although...I have to tell you....after being a teacher I would be sending my kid to school with the shortest hair possible or tied back if they wanted it long. Nits/Lice are NASTY!

At that age I'd probably just cut his hair. When older he could make his own choices as long as he was keeping his grades up and it didn't go against school policies.

His hair doesn't look that bad imho but the ponytail sure does.

Braids and cornrows on him would look pretty goofy too imho.

What happened to individual freedoms(it is a public school), as long as they don't infringe on the rights of others.

I tend to agree - worry more about educating & less about regulating. If the kid is truly causing a distraction for the rest of the class, I can somewhat understand the objection. But I'd bet money that virtually all the distraction is due to the teacher/admin's response to it, not the other kids. F'd up priorities I think - get back to memorization drills to prep for Big Brother's multiple-guess test!
BUT - if I were the parent, I'd probably work to avoid the distraction. Not 'make' him cut his hair, but discuss the consequences & encourage a workable compromise.
