Please enlighten the class on what this does have to do with.

Sounds like the school deserves the shitstorm headed their way.

we had dress codes and grooming standards(including hair length,) when I was in school, and long hair was in when I was in school
everyone that wanted to graduate complied

Another bottom line is he's actually complying with the rule but still being threatened with punishment if his hair isn't cut. Why is that?

why? because they've set a standard and some punk arse rasta mon doesn't want to comply? he can go to another school if his hair is so important
1) He complied with their dress codes then they changed those dress codes the semester before graduation.
2) Public school is to educate. If he’s completed the necessary courses with passing grades, hasn’t he met his obligations for graduation? What service does the school supply by denying him the recognition his effort earned?

To have a "legal" basis upon which they could punish someone they just don't like
Barbers Hill ISD has 5,379 students, of which 169, or 3.1 percent, are African American.
This is the only high school in the ISD, so we can assume the demographics for the high school are close to the ones for the entire ISD.

We also rounded up Asians and put them in camps, told black people they had to sit in the back of the bus, etc. It was stupid then and it's stupid now.

And I’m sure you were aware of those dress codes and grooming standards at the beginning of the year and agreed to meet those standards. He agreed to and complied with the standards set at the beginning of the year. He completed his coursework and is bring denied the recognition of the work because they changed their policy on his hair?
Look past the trees to see the forest. This kid has the grades to graduate high school and, by all reports, complied with their rules until they changed arbitrarily. Again, what does the school achieve by denying him that recognition for his work? Don’t we want kids to be rewarded for competing high school and meeting their standards? Why make changes in the middle of the year? What does the accomplish?
