It's becoming a brewing story here.
The Mesquite ISD suspended a kindergarten student for his long hair at the tail end of last year, and the suspension has continued.
I'm shocked that a school district is refusing to teach a child because of the length of his hair. it's 2010. Even in Texas. |

Gotta love the last line in the CNN article that Tree linked to in #2.
"There is zero intelligence when you start applying zero tolerance across the board," he said. "Stupid and ridiculous things start happening."
