Do you HAVE to GET a tattoo to come to school?

If you have a right to have long hair while out on the street in public, you have 
a right to have long hair at all public school.  If you don't have a right to wear 
gang colors at school, you don't have a right to wear gang colors on the street.

The threatening/menacing, "I have intent to commit crimes, and am part of a 
criminal organization" thing, is a different issue/question.

So you should have a right recognized to wear a bikini to school, a Mohawk to 
school, a gorilla costume to school.  Merely wearing clothing or not wearing 
clothing is not disruption, and it's your life, and your human right.  *Not* the 
school's, which is merely there to serve *you* and not persecute you.

Hygiene?  If you were smelling or otherwise causing pollution that is a problem.


Visual pollution is not really likely an argument.  You don't have to stare at the 
other students.


Clothes putting other students in danger somehow, might possibly an argument, but 
give a strong example if there is one.  Even students not wearing sufficient 
clothing to protect *themselves* in an activity, is circumspect, though I guess 
some people think students are retards who can't decide to protect themselves from 
danger on advice.


It's absolutely crime to tell students to take off their clothing, change their 
clothing, or what they can or can't wear.  Activities aside.  It's absolutely crime.

Then they tell the students they *have* to do P.E. and wear those clothes?  They 
could tell students they have to go naked in the pool.  *That* is not what is.


In addition to the above, clothing is freedom of speech.  Everyone has a right to 
express themselves as they prefer, at public school.


You can't wear black clothing... you can't wear pretty colors as a man... etc.


One person wants to wear roller skates, and there's some problem, and we're not 
free?  If you raise Americans to be not free, what makes you think they'll be free 
at 18?  They won't!  Can I carry a yoyo around?


Bullying is where the problem is, and where we need to draw the line.  And things 
which truly violate or endanger other people.  The school should not be your dark 
master, or it will not serve 100% of the society, as it is pledged and has an 
obligation to do so.  People won't attend, and they deserve a school.  They have a 
right to public school.  People have a right to be free, and we have a right to 
have our children brought up free.

Advocation that people are with your life and protect your life, and are not 
against your life, nor endanger your life, and to choose friends who are such as this.

"School officials in Texas forced a 9-year-old boy to serve an in-school 
suspension for a month, deprived him of recess and normal lunch breaks, and 
banished him from campus to an alternative school — all to pressure the 
fourth-grader into getting a haircut, a new lawsuit says.
An image from a KPRC broadcast on Aug. 23 shows student Daniel Hoosier walking 
away after telling Magnolia Independent School District board members he opposes 
the school system's ban on boys having long hair. Hoosier had recently “caved” by 
cutting his hair to comply with the district's rule.

Still, the boy refused to obey what he believes is an unjust school policy that 
bans boys from having long hair.

The boy, identified as A.C. in court documents, is one of seven students suing a 
Texas school district for what they call a discriminatory policy that requires 
boys to wear short hair. The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas filed the 
federal lawsuit Thursday on the students’ behalf against the Magnolia Independent 
School District, which serves some 13,000 students about 40 miles northwest of 
Houston.

The students, aged 7 to 17, allege that the district’s policy prohibiting boys 
from wearing long hair is based on gender stereotypes that violate the 
Constitution. They say administrators apply it unevenly, allowing some boys to 
wear long hair that violates the district’s grooming standards while punishing 
others. Those suing the district said that punishment has caused them “immense and 
irreparable harm.”


Also unlike a dress code, requirement of short hair at school, forces short hair 
outside of school.  This is stealing someone's choice outside of school.
