I agree with you in part. But the reality is we tell are kids that the world is all inclusive and that what you look like doesn't matter, but truth be told it does.

because he chose this hairsyle himself? IMO its his parents creativity if they chose and encouraged the haircut.

I agree there is nothing wrong with the haircut, just skeptical of the child's supposed individuality...

i get where you are coming from but that is why he needs a good school which doesn't impose those standards. why perpetuate a cycle? teach children acceptance from the beginning

i am assuming the child had a say in his hairstyle, and the parents did not inflict the thing on him despite his protests. he looks old enough to voice an opinion. moreover, if he had protested the hairstyle, it would have likely been included in the article which is already senstionalizing what isn't really a huge story to begin with

I'll bet that kid picked the hairstyle and he fucking loves it!

Music, sweet music, I wish I could caress and...kiss, kiss...

Also I'm sure it was probably in the school's code that he shouldn't have a mohawk... either way yeah this is just making a mountain out of a molehill.

At that age, I can pretty much guarantee that this is the parents' idea of that is cute or "cool".

The whole issue of hair being distracting is really stupid - unless it's blocking the view of the kid sitting behind or something. lol

Not sure where/how they come up with these assumptions. My son's school does not dictate hairstyles are appropriate at all. There is one little boy in kindergarten that has long hair. Others have mohawks, bright colours, etc.

Seems no student is struggling academically because of it.

But when you go into the real world of work it does matter what you look like.

I went to a hippie school and I at the time had an over all preppy look. That look didn't bode well there. But, hey I was just being me.

I saw a little guy and his dad in the guitar shop yesterday with matching Mohawks, I though it was so cute. American culture sometimes can be meddlesome.

yes and the 'real world' changes every generation. maybe if we act right, the next generation won't be all hung up on this type of silliness. just my 2c
