Anyways, I had my first day of school this past Wednesday. I didn't get in trouble for my hair being to long on Wednesday, I got in trouble for my belt, because it was "Too shiny." Yes, that is exactly what they said. They had the whole school out of dress code. People going home and missing class, people getting yelled at, parents yelling alot of that junk.

Anyways for the guys hair, they were cutting it. In Texas, they can't do that. No matter what the student or parent say, they can't. It is a law. Unless they have a hair cutting liscence in a liscenced building, they can't cut hair. My mom told me to look it up. So today, I got yelled at by a teacher. I think your hair is too long. I had three choices. One, I call my mom, get a haircut, come back. Two, I call my mom, go home, don't come back. Three, they cut it. They ain't touching my hair. So I called my mom and she went to a principal and yelled about it. They said there was a case that went to some court in New Orleans about this and they said it was Constitiutional that we can't have long hair. You are free, but you can't do anything. What is that?

Is this a public school or a private school?

See, this is where Bush came from.
You probably have listening devices planted in your hair.

Oh, nevermind. Those are ears...

"Too shiny"??? Wow. That's amazing.
 
In my ROTC (high school navy) If our hair is too long my SNSI and NSI are allowed to cut our hair so we can pass inspection
 
<.< >_> My high school doesn't have insane rules like that :p

It is unconstitutional to force you into doing something that is against your will, but remains appropriate by national standars, since you have the natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. (I'm guessing :biggrin:)

Say something like that and you have a shot around the rules, unless it is a private school...
 
Where is Lawman when you need him. Anyways. I'm not getting my hair cut. I'm a rebel =D. Also because my mom won't let me. I'm not having school tomorrow =D.
 
well, is this a public 'charter' or 'magnet' school where you've applied for a special program (example: math/science or music/arts magnet) instead of just yr typical neighborhood school?

if so, i can see where they might have rules other public schools in the same district do not, as attendance at such schools is a privilege one must apply for...

Bull hockey.

Nowhere in the constitution does it say anything substantial about appearance, and certainly not about hair. Any ruling in New Orleans would have been a highly incorrect interpretation of the constitution. That said, try asking some of these people to qualify why guys can't have long hair, and you get some amusing answers.
 
What the heck is the big deal about long hair anyway? Seems like a stupid thing to send a kid home for.
 
In my high school, there was a guy with actually really long hair. Only guy in the school to do it. Stood out very well. Never once had a problem from the faculty about it.

Maybe Canadian public schools are just better.
 
eh, well in ROTC, thats a choice class, not a required, so if you signed up for that class, you MUST follow the rules. I should know...

^^i disagree. my high school doesn't care what we look like as long as it isn't gang involved.

also maybe you should concider joining a new school. im pretty sure there aren't many public schools like yours. if you can't transfer, wait until college and then you can do what ever you want

as for the "Bill of Rights" amendment one our society is more likely to respect those rights of adults and anyone under 18(or in some cases 21) is not as protected by these rights as adults are

Love those texas schools, didn't they try to ban cheerleader displays too?

They don't touch their Football. Cheerleaders in skimpy outfits are part of Football. Therefore, they aren't touched.

double entendres not intentional.
 
You have to follow the school's rules if you want to attend. That's how it works. They can make requirements on your appearance (I mean, duh... some schools have uniform policies...); what's possible to argue over is whether they can cut your hair for you.
