Humanity is just lost on some people. Frankly, I think it's a shame people with cancer who've lost their hair often feel forced to cover it.
Cover it why? They're fighting one of the nastiest diseases known to man. Whenever I see someone out in public with obvious chemo-balding, I think they're a ****ing badass. Why should they be ashamed?
Saw a woman recently who was chemo-bald, out powerwalking down the sidewalk with walking sticks. Something about her just said, "Yeah, I'm bald. Screw you." I thought she was the coolest thing ever.
The fact that such human tenacity is considered "distraction," and supporting it is considered "distraction" is what is wrong with our culture, and our schools. Yeah, they have a right to do it as a charter, but they're teaching their students that humanity is irrelevant and meaningless. Disgusting. This could be a teachable moment in character building, and instead it's just a "distraction."
I'd totally support a mass head-shaving protest, and I'd love to show up to the party myself.
Way to objectify people with cancer.
