4 YEAR old banned from pre school for helping cancer patients.

wow? :? no clue what to say.

If it's any consolation for the kid, Jesus would have been kicked out of the school too.

bull****. Thats kid had really nice hair. Its not like it wa scraggly and unkempt.

The only reason I agree with the mother and child, after reading the article, is because tey were originally told they were allowed to do it.

However, coming from a strict Christian school, that would never be allowed. I had a friend who lost his brother to cancer and we have an annual "World's Greatest Shave" to raise money. He was not allowed to shave his hair anything below a number 4 because those were the school rules.

Hmmm, after that thread the other day about the little kid who was getting sued for bumping her bike into some old lady, I'm convinced that all children are just terribly naughty nowadays :P

It is a sin against god to have long hair if you're a man...duh!

...oh wait

wow. Ultimately it was for his long hair, but he was growing it so that he could donate to those who lost their hair due to cancer treatment.

Once again these kinds of instances are exactly why I take issue with the likes of zero tolerance policies. I'm fairly sure that if it was just a general rule that kids had to have neat trim hair we would not be hearing about this issue. Instead it's a zero tolerance policy that allows the people enforcing the rules safety regardless of what the details of a particular issue happens to be.

Lol yeah no doubt. Man things like this just make me....

I agree with the school in this decision.

Before you flame me, read the article.

Wow, I can't believe how they treated that boy and his family. But in all fairness, they did tell them the policy. I'm not condoning what the school did, but the school did make the rules clear.

True, but there's really no reason for them to kick the boy out other than "those are the rules". They have the right to kick him out if they want, but you'd think that in special circumstances such as this they could make an exception.

its a private school, they make the rules like it or not. There are other places you can go.AutoPilotOn

His sister is a cutie.Agent-Zero

what's up with private schools and long hair

my dentist kid had to cut their hair as well

Lol wut?

I can feel for the poor kid, I've also been the victim of discrimination due to hair length.

This is wrong, but more importantly where can i find some more pictures of that kid's sister?

"Renee Szablewski is a good, churchgoing Catholic" I stopped reading here. You don't have to be religious to be a decent and giving person. To the point though its a shame that this happened to the kid.

I'm sure that's what Jesus would've done.

It's official, private preschools are the source of cancer.

People dont know how to use common sense these days...

I saw the word, "Catholic school", rolled my eyes, and closed the tab.

Religion is just hilariously stupid sometimes. (a.k.a. all the time)

I don't get why long hair is so bad? It makes people look good8)

He's even helping people with cancer but yet the pre-school bans him?!

They can just....well I won't say it cuz I might get modded.....

They have their rules, what he was growing the hair for is irrelevant. weezyfb

Of course it is. They can change or bend those rules, and if they don't, we have every right to be indignant.

as someone who donates to locks of love every couple of years i'm completely on the kids side.

Nothing against the little boy, but I thought I was looking at a little girl when I clicked the link.

i'd ban him for being a yankees fan. hurry, someone save him before it's too late!

I guess the priests didn't want any little boys looking like little girls :o

And there i was thinking school was about learning and not looking 'neat'

I'm amazed at how people don't understand the Bible. The Bible condemns long hair on men. The school was acting within their own interests to expel the student.Genetic_Code

The bible condemns shaving your beard too, but I can guarantee you that a Catholic school won't let a high school boy grow a beard. How about braids on girls? Can't have those either.

Yea...

Wasn't Jesus' hair long as well? Damned hypocrites!!!
