I think we've all probably done it, Ellie, myself included and I'm not pointing a finger at anyone in particular. Actually, I was speaking more of this boy and how his parents abdicated their authority and gave the school carte blanche to "do as they see fit" w/him in regards to his hairstyle. Those words left the field wide open, as I see it, and now they're complaining that the school had no right to cut his hair but w/their words they gave them permission. However, point taken regarding posts on Pet Talk and other forums as well.
