I'll tell you what, if this kid can't wear long hair then ban crucifixes as well.
"...and we'll look at it." Sure you will.

yep. ridiculous! why does he have to prove anything? Just get a chief to write a letter. Actually dad should not even have too, this made me mad. I would just send my kid and wait till they sent him home and contact the ACLU or something, In America we are required by law to educate all children even illegals, so a Native American is barred? grrrrrrr

Foolishness. Perhaps the school's administration will develop some common sense.

Stafford?! It starts just a couple blocks up the road from me! The idiotic nonsense of the people around here is almost intolerable. Who cares how long the kid's hair is? He's better dressed and better groomed than most of the kids I see walking around that town.

School should lose. Religious or not, hair length has nothing to do with learning. As much as it has to do with conforming. Anyone believe that conforming in this case is warranted?

If it had been a Muslin wanting long hair, then they would of accepted it.

Absolutely retarded. Not all Texas towns are this ethnocentric. In my town which is relatively small too, this kid wouldnt have a problem at all.
