Reason 833 to HomeSchool: Your 4 Year Old Boy Won’t Be Suspended for Having Long Hair
4 Year Old Taylor Pugh has been suspended from his PreSchool classes for four weeks now because he has long hair. His long tresses are against his public school policy. Public School is really starting early on this kid.
From the KC website here:
Taylor Pugh has been suspended from pre-kindergarten because he likes his hair a little on the floppy side. The 4-year-old sat with a teacher’s aide in a suburban Dallas school library on Thursday during the fourth week of his in-school suspension.
Taylor’s locks – long on the front and sides, covering his earlobes and shirt collar – violate the school district’s dress code.
“They kicked me out that place,” said Taylor, who prefers the nickname Tater Tot. “I miss my friends.”
The follicle fight came to a head last month when Taylor’s parents received a signed letter from Floyd Elementary School’s principal, threatening to withdraw the boy from school if his hair didn’t comply with district standards. When Taylor’s parents didn’t budge, their son was suspended.
When the boy returned, his hair was longer than ever. But school officials decided suspension was too harsh and changed the punishment.
“They still have regular classroom work, but in an isolated environment,” Mesquite Independent School District spokesman Ian Halperin said of the modified in-school suspension that Taylor is serving.
School shootings and now this. What is this country coming to? Seriously, though, if every child decided to grow long hair too then the teachers would have to create separate rooms for every student according to this retarded zero-tolerance policy.
Thanks to Bryan for the story!
I would bold the first sentence of the last paragraph too, preschool is as just about about learning to work with others as it is about learning any serious content (basically they get to counting and alphabet… not that serious).
Then as I was telling him…Yea, supposedly its all about preparing 4 year olds for the job market… I thought child labor laws were still in affect. Seriously do we really need to worry about creating the drones that the public school system is so good at creating at the age of 4. Beyond that there is the gender discrimination angle (I doubt they do this draconian shit to girls, not to mention imagine if they told a girl that her hair was too short…) and the racist angle (in many cultures the men almost always have long hair, I saw a post on this at a website where someone said that some of her relatives only cut their hair when they are in mourning), and the fact that this is controlling a kid 24/7 (he can’t have short hair for school and long hair for the summer, heck he couldn’t even get decent length hair until August after school ends). Schools are idiotic these days.
P.S. Is there any method to your madness behind your numbers. And will their ever be a reason 420, 711, 911, or any other fun numbers :-p.
Bryan, suggestion accepted about the bold characters. And my response to your comment is below, and apologies to readers ’cause we took these comments offline :
To Which Bryan replied to me:
I have kept it a secret up to now, but since you asked, this is how I calculate my Reason Number “X” to homeschool a child:
It’s the time of day.
I blogged this one at 8:33 PM. First I check to make sure that there haven’t been other timestamps assigned to other blogposts by searching my blog. If not, I use that designation.
If the transgression is incredibly offensive, I assign it a low number below 100. If its something I blog from my phone where I can’t take the time to search for a prior ranking, I select a numeral above 260 and hope it wasn’t duplicated.
But pay no attention to the loon behind the curtain.
Lol better
Best reason..your white child wont be beaten and attcked by blacks. Blacks commit 75% f the violent crimes in AMerica, (See Dept of Justice) White sepratism is the only way. leave us alone. Equal rights for all regardless of color. No affirm action. When blacks attack whites, its not a hate crime. But if a white attacks a black….well youll never hear the end of it. Also white women are raped by blacks at astounding rates. How many black women were raped by white men….NONE. No records for it. Too small to be recorded. HOME SCHOOL NOW. Save your white child’s life.(I speak for personal experience..my wife and daughter are both dead from these animals)
Ummm Belch, I think you might want to block this guys posts… he sounds a tad bit… crazy?
