[QUOTE="Star*, post: 327703, member: 4964"] It makes me wonder if the Dad worked in a factory where it was a rule stating that he had to wear his hair groomed nicely (for whatever reason) and came to work one day and either had the choice of going home to change or being fired which he would choose ya know? DF has worked in some powerhouses back in the 80's where the dress code said very clearly NO TATTOOS showing (can you see that one flying today with our teenagers in general) and had to wear long sleved shirts inside to weld in the Summer. Point being - he wanted the job, the rule didn't say no tattoos, it said NONE showing...so he covered them up. Same with the hair. I'm sure if the school book was read - it would state, no hair length etc... The parents knew this, chose to ignore it because THEY felt it was stupid. OKAY NO ONE HERE feels this is NOT a dumb thing. HOWEVER.... RULE is a rule, is a rule. So if they wanted to allow their son to braid his hair down his back, they should have a.) Applied for special permission based on faith or cultural beliefs b.) Gone to the parents, rallied, and petitioned for the RULE to be changed. [/QUOTE]
