violates a district dress code that limits hair length for boys
I get the racism angle here, but isn't this an open and shut case of sexism?

Remember all those immigrants coming through New York being inspired by the statue of conformity.
They comments are pretty worked up but I'm not quite sure how this is even considered racist.
Unless there is some reason that I don't know that black people need to have long hair it sounds like everyone is being treated equally. It's not like they are asking him to shave with pseudofolliculitis barbae.
Are the girls held to the same standards?
it's incredible there are still guys who act like a grade school dress code is some sort of sacred biblical text. just really makes your skin crawl. imagine believing in something like that. imagine taking time out of your day to punish someone over their hair and thinking you're a noble servant of the barber's hill tradition. what the fuck dude
oh and also the virulent racism
If the student somehow doesn’t win, I’ll have even less faith in the justice system than I already do.
Oh, and this isn’t quite the point, but I’ve seen pictures of his hair from other angles. It’s cool as hell.
America was founded in a rebellion against tyranny. Conformity was for royalists, who undermined the revolution and some of whom later served as spies or fought with the British Empire.
These people wave flags and pretend they embody American ideals when they’ve never even understood those ideals, much less even made an effort to live up to them.
The Revolution was fought because rich men hated paying taxes. The same reason we're on the verge of a second civil war, now.
Ironically, all these conservative "patriots" would have been Tories back in day.
Bloody royalists
districts with a traditional dress code are safer
Trying to wrap my head around the concept of “dangerous hair.”
"traditional dress code" seems like code for white people in this case.
Clearly it's the hair that's the problem with their culture, and not the generational lack of wealth.
Show me how many black people inherit a house vs whites. Show me how crime rates drop in areas where more homes are owned outright, with no rent or mortgage.
Nah, it's probably the hair.
Being an American requires respect of others, originally different religions, and now encompass race. Who still cares about hair style as long as it isn't whipping in someone else's face.
Looks like you drank the propaganda lol. Being an American is about bombing brown children for oil.
Don't forget rampant consumption!
