Not first! I'm sure the bot'll get me.

[Suzy Q]

Well, howdoyoudo, I WAS first!

And, being suspended for his hair being too short? What's next, being suspended for wearing clothes that actually fit?

[kibby F5™]

*reads article FIRST!*

TOO SHORT!?

WTF?

[wickedwitch]

WTF? they spend so much time worrying about stupid crap like this while the drug dealers are setting up shop on the playground.

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

School dress codes are stupid. Our high school policy said that you were not allowed to wear shorts until May 1. However, if you were of the girl-type gender, you were allowed to wear skirts anytime you wanted. So one particullarly warm April day, The Dread Pirate wore a skirt to school. The principal and I had a discussion, and the dress code was revised in under two hours.

So...what do they do with the kid who's bald because of his leukemia treatments? IDIOCY RUN AMOK. AGAIN.

I have the honor of having the "no extreme hairstyles" rule placed for me back in the 80s when I was in high school. Cyndi Luper checkerboard on top with pink tails. Of course, by the time they put in the rule, I had moved on.
IT IS JUST HAIR, PEOPLE! It isn't permanent, like tattos or luggage.

Drat! botted again!

[Kathybear]

Would they rather this kid be in school with dreadlocks or somthing? I was in school when the assistant principal had shears in his office for those boys that mimicked the Beatles or other rock groups with "long" hair...

"...Number two, hire people in the district who respect black people and who understand them has human beings," he said.

Purple and Pink Hair may be disruptive, if you are 12,

Hair on fire may be disruptive, if you are 12.

Short hair is NOT distruptive.

Idiots.

[Charlotte]

My brothers would have been in huge trouble. As soon as it got warm enough, my mother would shave their heads in what we called at the time a 'butch' haircut.
Stooopid people.

[mudstuffin]

hey, that's my hairstyle! does that mean that i'm back in style?

....

........

okay, never mind.

[DeskDiva]

blurk? Any comments about military haircuts?

[Cheryl Howard]

Stoopid. I bet the guy who made up this rule was a guy I dated a million years ago back in the 80's. My hair kept getting tangled in the row bar of my Jeeps’ KC lights so I decided to trim it up a bit. He threatened that if I cut it at all it was over between the two of us.

I shaved my head that afternoon. From long blonde locks that went to my waist to a flat top that I dyed black just to be spiteful. I delivered the remnants to his door and told him where he could stuff them to mind his p’s & q’s with us girl types in the future.

[ScottMGS]

Hey, just say the kid had lice. Would that work or would they want proof?

[mudstuffin]

cheryl - sounds like you made the obvious choice there, but wouldn't it have been easier to use a flaming bag of poo?

[Dr. Doug]

Mother's a dweeb; kid's a dweeb.

[Cheryl Howard]

Mud. Maybe, but Nevada was as hot as the hubs of hell and it sure felt great to cut it all off! Wooo Hooo!

[sthnbelle]

Sorry, but I'm wondering if we're getting the whole story here - the mom says the kid has had "run-ins with the principal" before. I totally agree that this is insane if the stated "too short" description is accurate, but, given the overly-litigious society we live in, I'm thinking mom's lookin' for a check.

[Meditrina]

Cheryl - Where were you during my divorce? We could have had some good times with a few, er, shenanigans messages.

[casey]

My daughter is all kinds of cool and wacky. At her request, when she was in the 5th grade, I dyed a small bright red streak into her naturally blond hair. It was so cute! She got sent home from school and I had to cut it out before she was allowed back. My daughter, who has never made a grade below an A- in her life and is currently enrolling for an all honors curriculum for her first year in high school.

Of course, there was that time she got sent home from kindergarten cuz she was climbing the monkey bars. Ordinarily, I don't think it would have been a problem, but when the rest of the kindergartners figured out she wasn't wearing panties under her dress, the school wasn't amused.

[Cheryl Howard]

Snork @ casey. When little girls remember to wear their undies daily--doesn't life become so much simpler?

Med--why do we gotta wait for a divorce? ;-)

[Annie Where-but-here]

Shave the principal. Above and below. See how she likes being ostracized.

[ScottMGS]

So that's what ostracized means! Thanks, Annie.

[Annie Where-but-here]

You're welcome. It's when you use one of those Oster tm-thingy electric razors.

[Siouxie]

LOL casey! my oldest has had hair all different colors. She was lucky to have gone to "artistic" schools where that was more or less normal.

Right now the bottom 3 inches is bleached/pinkish. She wants to cut it short and donate the rest to Locks of Love. (we need to trim the bleach part though).

[ScottMGS]

My youngest does that, too. Leaves a royal mess in the bathroom.

[Siouxie]

Scott? coloring or cutting the hair?? I know the coloring leaves a HUGE mess! drives me NUTS! Last few times she did that up in college. wheww! lol

[ScottMGS]

Both have done Locks of Love but, no, just the coloring. The older one doesn't do it so much but helps her friends dye theirs. The younger one with darker hair has streaks of green, purple and blue down the front. You can see a bit of it in that cover I showed you.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Anyone who donates their hair to Locks o' Love is all right by me. I don't care WHAT their hair looks like. Their heart is in the right place.

[SW]

"So that's what ostracized means!"

Hahahaha lol scott!

[SW]

"Shave the principal."

And God shave the Queen.

[Cheryl Howard]

Yay! I win the Annie WBH Seal of Approval!

*thunderous applause*

(I grew it out while I was pregnant for the last time and donated it to Locks of Love).

[Annie Where-but-here]

Yay, CH! You done good, kid.

[DeskDiva]

LOL Stevie! Sounds kinda like how it would if Sean Connery said it. ;-)
