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.
