    How absurd.

    I would have demanded to see a school district policy prohibiting the hair style. And even if there was one prohibiting a "faux hawk" I would bet money there was not one prohibiting a flat-top.

    My son went to high school with a boy who wore his mohawk in about eight bright green spikes down the center of his otherwise bald head. And each spike was at least a foot high. How he got in a car, I do not know. He graduated with a 4.0 GPA, and went to college on a full-ride scholastic scholarship. Touche.

    Absurd is right. I saw the boy on TV and because the haircut was a fauxhawk, it wasn't anywhere close to being outrageous. No other colors either. I also the pic of him after his parents gave him a flat top haircut, also nothing outrageous. In the 50's, a lot of boys wore flat tops. That was considered conservative. Now, just because so many boys shave their heads, does that mean this kid had to follow suit?

    Another touche': my son's artistic abilities got him accepted into the Pittsburgh Art Institute and other places where entrance wasn't easy. So the kindergarten teacher who tried to quash my son's self expression would have to eat her words had she known.

    That's a Johnny Unitas haircut. What the heck?? I think the kid's marks are a little more important than his haircut.

    But, can he throw like Johnny U?

    As long as they leave the high tops alone!

    When he gets a little older, if he can throw like Johnny Unitas, they won't be looking at his hair!
