Girl shaves head to support friend with cancer....Banned from school

[bianco]

Grand Junction looks nice.

Grand Junction, Colorado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

*****

School officials there need to get out more.

Yup, this girl getting her head shaved is the fault of the feds.

well I guess you worked in a school and know all about the rules and regulations being heaped on them so they can receive FEDERAL monies...
so carry on you're the expert on everything

Show me any federal requirement impacting this schools dress code and enforcement

Stephanie works in a school cafeteria, for fucks sake.

Whoever suspended that girl should be fired, sued, and charged if possible!

God bless you and that girl and her friend always!!!

thats pretty damn stupid.

Although I disagree with the policy, if it's a private school (and I don't know if it is or isn't) then the child's mother should have known the dress code policy prior to enrolling her daughter. I'm speculating but the name of the school sounded as if it might be a private school. If so, then they have a right to create policies and enforce them. If it's a public school then the ruling is asinine.

thats pretty damn stupid.

Apparently, its a Charter School..funded by public monies..and supposed to the embodiment of the solution to our educational crisis...

I see the sinister hand of the American Hairdressers Association behind this....

Girl's act of compassion violates school dress code

The dress code policy was pretty clear. The purpose of the ban is more than likely to prevent "skinhead" appearances.

We expect adults to run our schools

Adults who understand the difference between skinheads and children with cancer

Equal treatment under the law, does that apply to school policy? Just being the devils advocate.

I've never thought that shaving one's head to support a friend who has cancer was a good idea. Seems like there could be a better way to lend your support.

^^^ What makes doing such a thing so bad in your opinion?

God bless you always!!!

P.S. Later this year, I plan on donating my hair again to the Locks of Love company which makes wigs out of real hair for people who have cancer.

Done as a gesture to make the cancer patient not feel so bad about losing their hair, it's admirable. It doesn't help the cancer patient get well, but makes losing one's hair not be such a big deal. I can see where it would make a positive difference to a cancer patient, especially a girl/woman...I'm not sure I would be willing to shave my head, so Kudos to someone that is.

I shaved my hair off last year to raise money to help complete strangers with cancer. My hair was down to my waist, and I'll be doing it again next year.

I see no issue with it.

The mind is a wondrous thing...when a cancer survivor feels better due to the gift..of someone who donates her hair ..the power of the patient's mind is enhanced...and it can work wonders.
I have a patient w stage 4 lung cancer who was given a few months to live...7 years ago. Her mind set had a lot to do with it.
