[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 332872, member: 135"] I really feel sorry for the poor child. In the first place the school was wrong for having a stupid rule and trying to enforce it even though it made no sense. However, they've made an attempt to meet the parents halfway so I'm willing to give them a pass. The parents were wrong to make a big deal about the kid's hair. Even if it was a stupid rule, it was a rule, and I can think of no reason they shouldn't just say, OK, we'll cut his hair. Having taught little kids, I can almost bet that the other kids look at him and think he's weird. That will probably follow him forever. Having the parents making an issue of this is not helping the kid. He's going to be branded for years. I'm pretty much of a libertarian in a lot of cases and I feel people should be pretty much free to do whatever floats their boat, as long as it doesn't sink mine. But this is ridiculous. I doubt of the 4 year old has a clue about hair styles or political statements. He just wants to pick his nose and play with the toys. It's a case of both the school and the parents trying to use a 4 year old to make a point and they should all be ashamed of themselves. Doesn't anybody care about this kid? [/QUOTE]
