6-year-old barred from school over haircut [View All]

[RamboLiberal]

A kindergartner's mohawk haircut has gotten him spiked from school.

Michelle Barile said her 6-year-old son usually gets compliments when he sports his newly-cut, spiked mohawk in public.

But at Parma Community School, the attention attracted by Bryan Ruda's hair was enough to get him suspended on Monday.

The board of Constellation Community Schools -- which operates the Parma school and 16 other charter schools in Northeast Ohio -- decided over the weekend to bar Bryan from school.

IMHO the board are a bunch of jerks. I taught kids karate and while I thought some of the kids hairstyles a bit silly at times, it's a free country, and it sure didn't distract any of the other kids. I think the only one's distracted in this case is the stupid board. Don't they have better things to do?
