Things have changed in Texas. Boy suspended because hair is too short.

[jinx]

from KLBJ, Austin:

Derek Jackson, a Bailey Middle School student, was slapped with an in-school suspension because of his "buzz cut."

An assistant principal pulled Derek Jackson aside, after she saw his extremely short haircut. Both Derek and his mother say school told them the haircut violates the school's dress code. A copy of that dress code talks about disruptive hair color and shapes, like a mohawk, that violate the policy, but it makes no mention of hair length.

Is he a part of any neo nazi groups?

Do you think that even libs want to see your dress flip up in the back evertime you fart?

Derek's mother thinks he was targeted because he is African-American.

My first thought before opening the thread was skinhead, white supremest neo-nazi, type. But after seeing the kids picture.............well I don't think so..

I will reserve judgement until I hear/read the entire story. My guess, there may be a bit more to it.

This is ludacrous! I had the same haircut -- only it was GUBMENT ISSUE!
It kinda grew on me, so now I sport a grey version of the young man's hair style.
Kick me outta werk ... PLEASE!
But then, I'm a "skinhead" neo-con.
I can get away with it.

Kinda makes you wonder doesn't it?Looks like mine did when I got out of boot camp.Hair grows at a average of one half inch a month ,wonder how many months that kid is going to be out of school?

Re: Things have changed in Texas. Boy suspended because hair is too short.

Does it not strike you as peculiar that they are photographing his haircut before the suspension ever took place? Maybe as as though there is another motive? I wonder if they have taken pics of every haircut he has been given.

Is this a private or public school? There is a huge diff between the two and the rules that get set. What were the circumstances leading to the haircut, because I would be hard pressed to believe the student showed up with this haircut and was kicked out with no prior circumstances leading to this.

I have done a few searches regarding this with ZERO results. For now, it's just heresay.

Yeah I was. Just wondered why an anglo-saxon has to say african-American.

I think Haut is on to something here. That looks very, VERY conservative. And that will not be tolerated in todays "enlightened" educational system.
