The new story is about a teenager dying his mohawk to support his mom and aunts. His mom and aunts doesn't go to middle or high school according to the story, but because of public backlash this school is also considering bending the rules. Care to try again?

As long as Xav isn't around you go right ahead.
My point is who do we get to break the rules to support, and which rules do we get to break? If these rules don't apply when we don't want them to then why have them at all. If it is ok to be a skinhead, or have a pink mohawk, if someone you know has cancer then I am sure most everyone knows someone with cancer, so why have any rules about hairstyles at all?
And before you come at me about kids having their spirit broken all these kids are learning is if enough people bitch on FaceSpace then you can break just about any rule you want. How does that prepare them for life in the "real world"?

Zero tolerance rules are made for people who can't think or use discretion. If my local principal can't be trusted to make a call on a hairstyle, he certainly can't be trusted to educate children.

Great, and as this second story, and I am sure there will be countless more, shows is that bending the rules to appease everyone who knows somebody with some ailment means we might as well not even have rules because everyone knows someone with a problem, and will have a different way of supporting them. As soon as someone says student A can do this, but student B can't do that, regardless of what this and that are, there will be a massive shitstorm.
