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.

Whenever there is a state that allow recall. Attend school board meetings and tell the board, Fire this principal, or we will recall you... Have petitions ready to sign...

Gone with with caring but tough teachers I had in the 90’s, I think I might consider homeschooling if I have kids, these days they are becoming activist nazi teachers.

I will say this without saying any names, but I have a friend that interned with the Department of Education and I will just say this in his intelligent opinion we should have dismantled the DOE yesterday, he was not pleased with what he saw and was glad when the internship was over.

It appears the school's principal is a liar.

She's also too stupid to be involved in education.

Throughout my years as an educator, I have learned many things including the fact that while the outside may be different, all children are the same.

I'm trying to figure out how you can "fix" a military style haircut that wouldn't be more distracting than the original haircut. You could let it grow out of the next couple of months, but anything shorter would be worse in the principal's eyes.

Everything is the same, if you take it to a high enough level. For example, all children are "the same" in that they are under 21 years old. (Surely that's a safe statement for elementary schoolers ...).

At least they're all carbon-based life forms.
