I just love all the so called conservatives who claim they are for individual rights screaming that these parents aren't holding to their standards on hair length and therefore the parents should just cut the kid's hair/SAR News flash for all you do gooders. His hair has nothing to do with his character or the character of his parents. They are not trying to force the other boys to wear long hair, only to exercise their God given right to determine how their children wear their hair. The government has no right to force you to cut your kid's hair. 4 is way to young to be in school anyway.

IMO, you're confusing conservatives with libertarians. True conservatives place some value on having some standards that people are expected to conform to in order to achieve a more cohesive society.

Libertarians aren't necessarily conservatives. Libertarians can include those rebellious hippies that don't want anybody telling them how long they can wear their hair. Hippies don't generally fall in the category of conservatives.

Hippies do have the right to grow their hair as long as they want. No person who thinks it is appropriate for the government to dictate citizens' hair length is anything remotely like a conservative. They are instead leftist totalitarians who have made the state their god.
