School in Texas banned the boys to wear long hair due to the politics of the dress code and caused indignation of students. About this reports “BBC”.
According to the rules of the Independent School District of Magnolia (Magnolia), boys can not come to classes with a closing eye by bangs, obscure ears of strands and hairstyle, which concerns the lower part of the shirt collar.
So, because of the rules entered, seven students sued the school district. In a lawsuit filed by the American Union of Civil Requirements of Texas (ACLU), it is said that the staff of the educational institution for a month was removed from the lessons of the nine-year-old schoolboy, and also banned him to go for lunch breaks as punishment.
Students aged from seven to 17 years old claim that this policy violates the constitution and the federal law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender.
“This rule is a full nightmare. Who are we, to tell your son, how should he look like?” – Parent spoke of one of the suspended students.
School District stated that at the moment he considers the claim. In an electronic letter for the US media, the press secretary of the educational institution Denise Meyers emphasized that the school district “respects various points of view, as well as the rights of citizens.”
A survey conducted by ACLU Texas in 2020 showed that almost 500 state school districts have one or another policy that concerns the length of the hair of male disciples.
In June, the Scottish schoolboy broke the dress code in response to the ban wearing shorts in the heat. 16-year-old Shane Richardson was one of the 13 students of the Moffat Academy (Moffat Academy) in Gallowi, which were expelled from classes due to violations of the ruled school established.
