ok, that is just fucking ridiculous. i was trying to figure out if this was some other country. but i don't think it is.. this is the united states.. right?? wtf?!?!
Yeah ... 1mm of hair now that's "disruptive". We had shit like "hairstyle guidelines" in highschool but it was a nun-run all girl place so you expected insane stuff like that.
I sense more to this story.. the mother "indicated" that the kid had had run-ins with the principle before? I'd like to know what else is up here. Such an abortive story!
Well, if a bunch of white kids showed up with shaved(skin) heads...
But yeah, the U.S. Military actually treats intentional baldness as a potential violation of their grooming standards. It generally slips by via the old "executive privilege" loophole(no one enforces it) but I've seen it used when jr personnel were getting to high-handed with the rules-lawyering.
