Is it sexism? Yeah. Is there anything you can do about it? Only if it's a public school. Otherwise you would need to get a respectable number of students and parents behind you on this before the school would even think of changing anything.

My school had a rule that a boys hair had to be a specific length, I think it was about 2" long. Any longer and you're a hippy (ala moi) any shorter, like a buzz cut, and you're a skinhead. Both seemingly hell bent on destroying society from within. I've always hated school rules. They seemingly operate outside the law. If I was beaten up by a gang anywhere else it would be assault or grievous bodily harm and they would be arrested. Within school this is punishable by sitting in a room for 10 mins and writing repetitive lines.

Jesus had long hair, as did many/most people during biblical times. use that to prove that it is actually Anti-Christian, not to have long hair in order to honour the Holy Fathers of the Church.

The Bible never mentioned the length of Jesus's hair.

They can do whatever they want as long as the school is private. Even public schools have increasingly strict dress codes. My old high school had polos, khakis, and no hoodies placed into their dress code this year, no hoodies is kind of ridiculous though.

The horror, in the UK state schools uniforms are required.

In fact in my first primary school, not only did the uniform include the classic blazer and tie combo, but boys had to wear a maroon and green hat, while the girls had to wear a straw hat in the summer and a red hat in the winter.

It sounds like a dresscode to me. Luckily we don't have school uniforms in most danish schools, or a "hair policy", so we can wear whatever we want and have the 'doo we want. It's only in some private schools that a uniform is required.

Wow, hats? That's a bit much. I mean, unless you guys had to wear the hats inside (something that's against dress code in almost all US schools) you would have never been seen without your hat on by the school except for like the half minute you spent walking into the school and the half minute you spent walking out.

Anyway, I always liked uniforms. As someone who has always been fashion-impaired uniforms saved me the hassle of picking out clothes in the morning and avoiding the social pitfall of clothes choice that I always fell prey to in non-uniform schools.

Well normally you have to abide to the institution's internal rules. I had the same problem in high school with long hair. The principal was angry with me and told me numerous times to get a haircut or she'll expel me.

After a dozen or so times, she was really getting on my nerves. Apparently, every time she pissed me off, a lab computer's HD would get it's windows wiped and a unix-based OS installed. She kinda dropped the case after a year or so.
