Walker High Senior disciplined over hair length awarded 'Best Hair' by his classmates

quote:

"The hair may not extend below the plane of the shoulder nor down upon the eyebrow in front, nor down below the earlobes. Hair must be clean, well-groomed and neat at all times,” the policy says.

In March, McLain had gathered more than 14,000 signatures on a petition to get the School Board to change its dress code policy.
He described the school’s policy as ridiculous, out-of-date and sexist.

How fricking pathetic. "I don't like the rules and don't think I should abide by them. You should change them."

And not a single pic was posted

Man the people in that class must have some crappy hair.

Oh, those crazy, rebellious millenials......

Current high school kids are not millenials.

I mean, it's a stupid rule. No legitimate reason have this in effect. Essential the same as, "All females must have their hair to shoulder length at a minimum."

I had longer hair than that dude in high school.

And his looks like garbage.

Don't be ridiculous.

I agree. It should at LEAST be able to conceal their nipples.

The senior girls at least

Meh. They know the rules

He looks like one of those 1980’s “headbanger” kids who, when you showed up freshman year, you saw hanging outside the lunchroom in a little pack between classes. You know, the ones wearing the megadeath black T-shirts, their hair nasty like his, their faces pockmarked, they were 17 in your freshman classes waiting until they turned 18 so they could dropout and ......

We had this same rule in Catholic school.

Surely, you see the difference.

A school where families pay tuition and agree to absurd rules is entirely different than a public school where kids from all walks of life are attending. This isn't "he didn't like the rules he agreed to when he chose to go to X school". This is the public school available in the district he lives in.

I'm hugely against gestapo dress code rules in public schools. Beyond just hair. You're playing with fire when you try to dictate too strictly the appearance of kids from multitudes of backgrounds.
