WTF line of the day

SAN ANTONIO — A 6-year-old boy in the Blanco Independent School District has been placed into in-school suspension during the first week of school.

He is accused of violating the school dress code by sporting a diamond earring and wearing his hair too long.

Kandi Shand said Gareth is growing his hair long so he can donate it to Locks of Love in a few months.

As for the earring, she said he has worn it for five years with no problems.

She pointed to a similar incident in El Paso, where the mother of a kindergarten student is also fighting the district to allow her son to wear his diamond earring.

The district’s parent-student handbook says boys cannot wear earrings. It also requires they have their hair neat, clean and well-groomed.

  1. I thought we fought this stuff in the 60’s and 70’s so others wouldn’t have to. Hair, hats, tee shirts, tats, etc. are not the person.
