School shaves boys head. How the fuck could they think that was OK? Schools have standards and whatever, I get that. Being in the mid west this town is probably pretty conservative which is fine. If the kid doesn't meet the dress code/ whatever the fuck they call it just call his parents and say he is not welcome to return until he meets the dress code. If the parent cares they can go to the superintendent and or the school board to argue their case. They had absolutely no call to shave the kids fucking head.
If a school employee cut my kids hair without their (and for a kid that age parental) permission I would go in there and shave their head jackass style. Bet they would like it about as much as my kid like them forcibly cutting his hair.

School administrators tend to think that they are tin Gods. I recently went to a school board meeting. I was the only person there not directly associated with the school. One of the topics was their new plan to force all students to register their cell phone numbers with the school system. Any phone found on a kid that was not registered was to be confiscated and not returned til the end of the school year. One board member suggested that this policy should be run by the district lawyers before being implemented, as it might represent an invasion of privacy. He was generally hooted down and the school superintendent said "when they come through those doors, they give up their rights." That's a direct quote.
I call this abuse and assault, that teacher would be in a heap of trouble with me and the authorities!
Reason 5,698,333 as to why one should homeschool.
Teachers are not even allowed to touch a child(except to have sex with the kid, or to talk a girl for her abortion) and yet the hair cut was acceptable?
Time to consider some big time legal actions(sadly the parents will loose...)

Yep, I'd go Barber Shop on 'em. Man or woman, I'd cut a swath of hair right down the middle of their head. Let them figure out how to deal with their new style. Maybe they would wear a cap to school just like the kid.
Most teachers are good people. Personally, I don't see why anybody keeps doing it. The pay sucks, the hours are horrific, you get flak from the parents and the administration. I lasted three years and said "f*** this." My wife, however, just keeps on doing it year after year. She likes the kids. I never really did.
Most teachers are good people, but there are all kinds in the school. It's a reflection of society. My wife has taught 4 years of public school and one year of private. She's dodged punches and flying books, been verbally threatened, worked w/ Mother Theresa-types and Paris Hilton-types. And no, teachers don't get paid jack. The set teacher's union pay scale doesn't allow for any incentive to do a better job(except a true desire to help the kids) since the best teacher and worst teacher get the same raise each year.
It is all about parent involvement - and clearly these administrators/teachers didn't think the parents would do anything. This is as much an assault/battery/etc. as the kids who were strip searched over a few missing dollars recently.
I know several teachers, and not a single one of them would do something like this. The Boy has a mohawk, a lot of people like it, a lot don't. If someone touched a single hair on his head (my family included) they would have a very very pissed off Mama Bear to deal with.

"When they come through those doors, they give up their rights."
Even the courts have upheld that students have no rights on school grounds.
I could understand that logic at a private school. If you don't like it, you're free to leave at any time.
Given that public schools are government organizations, how can basic rights not apply on school grounds?
Considering that kids are mandated by law to be schooled (be it at home, private school, or public school) and kids have no rights at public schools, public schools could be viewed as an indoctrination in to the police state.
1) Kids have no rights
2) Kids get in trouble for disobeying trivial rules/orders
3) Closed campus policies keep kids from entering or leaving school grounds without permission or being logged

I would be doing a lot more than handing out jackass-style haircuts. Stories like this bring out my redneck side. I think it would be ass whoopin' time if that were my kid. Sure, I would go to jail, but the money I would get from the civil suit would more than cover my own legal expenses. :)
My kids are all going to a private school where parents actually have a say in school policy and educational curriculum. I guess I don't have to worry about this kind of thing, but the story still sets me off!
Im going to have to steal this story for my own blog Ryan. Thanks for posting it.
I would look into criminal charges of maiming. Shaving the head is similar to a temporary tattoo. Also criminal practice of cosmetology/barbering without a license. A six-year old boy with a haircut with his parent's permission is *not* a family member.
As a foster parent some years ago, I had to get the (non-custodial!) parent's permission for regular haircuts - and had to assure the same style as previous cuts.
I would also look into profiling the students selected for this barbar-ic treatment. Is is male only, or some other stereotype? Is the school district deliberately trying to haze selected students out of the system for their own convenience (or social agenda)?
