Family of Black high school student files federal lawsuit over hair discrimination

[Hellbilly]

The hairstyle is meaningless, especially if this young man was a disruption.

Why do you insist that he is a disruption?

 

[Woodznutz]

Explain.

Red herring - Wikipedia​

A red herring is something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important question. It may be either a logical fallacy or a literary device that leads readers or audiences toward a false conclusion.

You watch too much Happy Days

I was a teen in the 50's. Happy Days was a fanciful portrayal of the 50's in a Midwest city.

Why do you insist that he is a disruption?

I don’t know if he is, or isn’t…but I do think that omitted information is not only relevant, but necessary before thinking this is about hair style alone.

 

[Hellbilly]

The 50's were great if you were a teenager. Best decade in American history for us.

For you white people, yes.

Your picture was a distraction.

My picture goes to the point that a dress code is not a good thing if it is forced on other cultures.

Dress codes enhance education. They are also expected in business. Most work uniforms are also necessary and functional. Kids can dress and groom anyway they wish out of school. "Hey, look at me!" dress is an unneeded distraction.

Dress codes enhance education.

Dress codes is white people shit. You hate everyone who doesn't look or dress like you.

They are also expected in business.

Not true.

This is yet another example of the neo-fascists right’s desire to compel conformity and punish dissent, of conservatives’ unwarranted fear of diversity and expressions of individual liberty.

School isn't the place for dissent or expressions of individual liberty. Do that after the bell rings.

Upon digging deeper, looks to be a typical HS student. Wants to play football, keeps up with studies, and has his group of friends that seem innocent and normal for his age…In that light, I’m going to say his suspension, and blocking his extra curricular sports activities, the school is in the wrong here.

When these kids get into the real world most change their dress to conform to conventional standards. Those who don't are generally losers.

If he has his hair done back off his collar, and above his eyes and ears, what’s the problem?

Professional business dress codes are actually pretty strict.

Even supermarkets have dress codes for their employees...white shirts and black slacks, no blue jeans, and often a necktie is required.

Depends on the job, no?

 

[Woodznutz]

If he conforms to the school dress codes he's ok.

Depends on the job, no?

Yes. There are many different dress codes depending on the job.

lol, what else can you go into? GOVT job? ARMY? Selling dope? Welfare fraud. Disability racket? Breeding?

I worked for a landscaping company and had to wear the company shirt. I worked in a grocery store and had to wear white shirt, slacks, and tie. In the meat department I had to wear white shirt, tie, slacks, and a paper hat.

And I have never had a job that had a dress code.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

We’re only getting one side here. I’d like to know what the young man in questions academic record was? Was he a disruption in his classes? Problems with teachers? Drugs? Why don’t we know these things?

All too often members like Tommy (OP) demonstrate that they only want to troll a topic right from the start with incomplete, or insufficient reporting, to bend to a narrative, or tweak a previously failed thread of their own. Nothing different in this submission.

He was probably a shoplifter as well you racist ****.

That sloppy, inappropriate dress and grooming wasn't a problem back in the day doesn't speak well for today's youth.
