We Don't Want No Long-Haired Boys Here
Many parents today are worried about guns at school, dropping test scores, and teenage pregnancy. But 12-year-old Kenneth Fails was put on in-school suspension for several weeks and through two grades for a different offense: long hair. In the Itasca Independent School District in Texas, the rules of the schools are clear: girls can have long hair, boys can't. But the question, now that we're well into the 21st century, is why?

This is so not right. What difference does it make how long your hair is?

It's a very good question but does it have a good answer?

This is totally wrong. Why can girls have long hair and not boys? Its just being sexist. And how can they say they don't discriminate when they do? This should be stopped.

Long hair is way cool. Leave him alone. Get a life.

She asked him why?
Why I'm a hairy guy.
I'm hairy noon and nighty nighty night.
My hair is a sight.
I'm hairy high and low;
Don't ask me why.
Cuz he don't know!

We don't know that Jesus had long hair. The Bible doesn't say. How children dress at home is up to their parents. How they dress at school is the school rules.

I am sorry, that has interfered... But this theme is very close to me. I can help with the answer.
