School named after war hero forces child to shave off military-style haircut

Adam Stinnett looks up to his older stepbrother – a soldier in the U.S. Army. So when it came time to get a haircut, the seven-year-old told his mother he wanted a basic military-style cut. And that’s exactly what he got – high and tight – just like his stepbrother.

Adam got his haircut on March 8. On March 9, his mother got a letter from the principal of Bobby Ray Memorial Elementary School in McMinnville, Tennessee.

It seems they were not all that thrilled with the second grader’s new hairdo. The principal told Amy Stinnett that her son’s haircut was distracting – and needed to be fixed.

The student handbook states “no mohawks”, which is different from a military high and tight.

I am sure she was flustered but the mom should have demanded to see the rule in an official handbook of rules and responsibilities.

McMinnville is fairly close to Nashville and this topic was on the local talk radio at lunch. Another mom who has children at the same school says the boy was targeted unfairly because another boy also has a high and tight and was allowed to keep it.

“The principal told Amy Stinnett that her son’s haircut was distracting – and needed to be fixed.”

After looking at the principal’s picture it appears that she has a helmet head, needs a nose job and probably should lose some weight. She is a walking distraction!

A little irony here.

HM2 Ray was a corpsman who was killed in action in 1969. He had requested duty with the FMF and was sent to Vietnam in 1968. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for treating Marines under fire and ultimately throwing himself on top of a wounded Marine as a grenade exploded nearby.

HM2 Ray probably wore his hair high and tight.

Our namesake, Robert (Bobby) Ray, was a national hero known for serving our country with bravery and honor and giving his life to preserve our freedom. While our goal is to provide students with the knowledge and skills to become lifelong learners and productive members of society, we hope to also instill that same sense of pride and service that Mr. Ray exhibited.

Mr. Ray? Did he not have an earned rank? She could not bring herself to give him the honor of giving him his earned military rank and demoted him to a mere civilian. She's a typical Liberal puke who cannot say he was in the military when he died. Heaven forbid that she should also mention that his Medal of Honor citation should also state that he was forced into a situation where he had to fight, shoot, and kill an enemy soldier, even though he was a medic!

It is HM2 David Robert (Bobby) Ray. Hospital Corpsman Ray. . . or Corpsman Ray.

I would have refused to “fix” my son’s hair and threatened a big lawsuit and plenty of media coverage of the situation.
