It is the allowance of her non attendance that irritates me. The parents should insist she change her hairdo pending the outcome of whatever legal or other action they wish to take. I ain't changing my mind on this one. Education comes first. The rest is all noise. And by the way, I hope she loses her "case." Well, I ain't changing MY mind on this one either. THE STATE has NO BUISNESS making education mandatory, and even less buisness providing it, and even LESS buisness dictating appearance rules in their little quasi-slavery, anti-parent concentration camps.
