Wow. Just wow.
Using logic (not emotion), please explain how this is any different...
Wow. Just wow.
I think thats because there are some very obvious differences between boys and girls other than just skin color or minor physical differences. As such trying to compare gender equality with racial equality will always be tricky and - IMO - inappropriate for discussions like this. Gender vs race should be handled differently because it IS different
To take the segregation issue you are so fond of P) we still have bathrooms segregated by gender but no longer by race
When I was a freshman/sophomore, I donated mine to locks of love and 90% of my classmates had no idea my hair was well below shoulder length. I came in without a hat the day before I donated it with my hair at full length and everyone thought it was a wig, then was nearly bald the very next day after I had it shaved off and turned it in for donation.
What was your school's policy for boy's hair?

Oh no. You came up with the analogy. You explain how it's relevant. Entertain us.
Shitty situation. The school can certainly enforce the rules, but it is a horrible PR stance and makes them look cold hearted.
If I was him, I would wait the 6 months, graduate, then grow it out. Cancer isn't gonna be cured before then.
As someone who wore a Burger King Crown to school for a month straight to protest the idiocy of our anti-head gear rules and as someone who recently donated his hair to Locks of Love I support this kid. Fucking stupid ass rules, if mother fuckers can put shit on their head for religious reasons or if girls can have long hair or wear dresses or skirts then ANYONE CAN. fucking stupid shit. equality is equality, special rules are for nazis.
I don't think it's that bad of a PR stance. If I had a kid or two in that school i'd be happy that the administration was upholding the terms of the contract. This one kid should not get special treatment for his "claimed" reason.
I can't say the same. I try to teach my children compassion. I believe his cause is just, and he's not doing it after someone else has. Based on his past, and present situation, I would argue differently than you. That's how I feel with the information at hand.
