There was a rule. This is an extracurricular activity and this kid chose not to abide by a rule. So it’s ok to whine and sue because you don’t like the rules? Rather a liberal viewpoint, isn’t it. Libs whine “It’s UNFAIR!”. Conservatives don’t.
That reply was directed at someone complaining about dreads on NFL players. Which are not against any rule whatsoever.
Yep. It's not like they were kicking him out of school. Often there are certain rules that people who have participate in extracurricular activities have to abide by --rules that aren't necessarily applied to the rest of the student body.
When I was in high school, there was no smoking age. Students could smoke. In fact, there was a sanctioned "student smoking area" adjacent to the rear entrance. Athletes and cheerleaders were prohibited from smoking (among many other rules) and if caught could be kicked off the team. To participate in extracurricular activities, they had to abide by a standard that wasn't applied to the rest of the students. That's just the way it was.
The rule needs to bear some semblance to necessity, and not just satisfy the stylistic aesthetic whims of a geezer.
If the kid performs, and it does not impede anyone else, then his hair is not business of any teacher. Im for the kid. So no, the true “liberal viewpoint” is the impulse to tell other people how they should live even though it does not affect you.
How about a rule that he must part it on the right?
