Girl, 9, barred from school for shaving head to support friend with cancer | Fox News
It's times like these I wish parents would/could take a stand. And I wish 15 other classmates would shave their heads. The stand I wish the little girl's parents would let her take would be to NOT attend school until the rule is changed. How simple would it be to amend the rule to allow shaved heads when one student in the school has lost his/hers due to cancer??
Easy-Peasy.
I am positively SICK of these academicians who don't have brain cells.
Really quite astonishing, if you ask me. And yes, the weird universe that the average academic's mind resides in is far removed from the universe of normal, everyday people.
1. Is there an epidemic of "skin-heads" in Colorado?
2. No wonder kids in Colorado are prone to shooting up schools - the stress of having to conform into a progressive robot must be incredible.
3. Far be it from the school to take this situation, and the two students, as a teaching moment to inform all the students in the school about neuroblastoma and other childhood cancers, about how they're treated and the side-effects, like hair loss, and about good things other supportive people do like shaving their heads to donate hair for the creation of wigs for those going through such treatment or to raise money or just raise awareness.
4. I appreciate schools may not want "distractions" but do they need to create a society of automatons, perfectly formed to be future teachers union shop stewarts and union leaders?
It's no wonder that children act out in society when they're away from school - there is little or no ability for individual expression to be encouraged or tolerated in a school environment.
