Some parents like to push the boundaries and then wonder why their kids turn out disrespectful of others.

“Some parents like to push the boundaries and then wonder why their kids turn out disrespectful of others.”

But one person’s “pushing the boundaries” is another person’s “right to self determination.” Let’s say the fascist, RAT-infested schools decide that it’s “pushing the boundaries” if a student argues with the Global Warming hoax. Hell, they’ve already decided, in some places, that wearing a crucifix or hugging another student is unacceptable behavior. And what’s the next step after that? Mandatory drugging, to make the student more “acceptable”...?

I completely understand a dress code - in fact, I’d be in favor of school uniforms, but it’s none of the School’s business what a student’s hair looks like. Granted, a Mohawk seems a little extreme for a little kid (to me), but if they can control that, why can’t the next step be to demand that boys cannot have long hair, if they want? Or girls can’t wear pony tails?

And the “disrupts the class” story is BS. Sure... a kid coming in the class with a mohawk would disrupt the class... but that wouldn’t last long. In fact, is there WAS a boy with long hair in the class and they came in with a crew cut, it would be the same disruption.... should they expel for THAT, too?
