With all due repsect, I think you have it backwards. The government school is trying to force the kid and parents to conform to it. The kid is not trying to dictate how long any other student’s hair should be.
How does this kid’s hair harm anyone else? It is not even that long. If it is not dangerous or disruptive, the government should mind its own business.
This is Statism run wild, IMHO.
Right. Those Marines are just so controlling...
Schools have the right to write rules of appearance and conduct that govern within their walls. Students simply do not have full free-speech or free-expression rights while at school.
It is not “statism” to require kids to follow rules.

The school has a set of standards that everyone must comply. If they do away the standards for him, then everything goes out the window. There’s no law saying he has to go to a government school. He’s only 4 anyway. And when he gets older, TX is really easy for those that wish to homeschool. I don’t like some rules either, but I either comply or move on. I don’t make a whole district change its policy to suit me.
Thank you!!!!
