First thing I thought of.

Juniper Jupiter: REALLY? Nobody thought of The Donald?

Guntram Shatterhand: Yeah. And this is from the state that believes that religion trumps science. So they're going to have a lot of people dressed up in short hair collecting unemployment and getting mocked for their inability to critically think or reason. But just as long as you look good, y'all!

/Southern Whites have no use
//there's a reason why they live away from everybody else: they're useless as human beings, really

am i allowed to score him a 0? judges? can i get a ruling?

Tavernknight: This is nothing new. When I was in high school we had a similar issue with the dress code and we organized a student protest. We had a school wide walkout. There were news cameras and everything. We didn't get them to drop the long hair for boys part but they did make some concessions to us and totally dropped the idea of wearing school uniforms.

Oh and the Texas haters can suck on my gun.

Our school banned backpacks, bags, and jackets. Post-Columbine. Carrying stacks of textbooks and notebooks and folders cause you can't make it to your locker in between classes = undesirable and stupid.

So some kids got creative (Radio Flyer wagon was my favorite). I used one of those farmer's market shopping carts and myself, my brother, and a few classmates handed out flyers with the superintendent's email on 'em.

god made Dallas so we could concentrate the stupid all in one place.

The Icelander: wpmulligan: They say the dress code prepares students for a business-orientated society where appropriate dress is critical.

Long hair does tend to get caught in machinery.

I knew a machinist who had hair down to the middle of his back, he'd be standing next to the CNC Horizontal Mill, his hair brushing against the spindle as it spun

amazed it never got ripped out of his head

and he was that shifts safety man

Penguin4x4: Good ole Mesquite

About as bad as Garland

At least in Mesquite when the police officer says "step out of the car" he doesn't mean "Step out of view of the camera so I can whoop your ass and say you were resisting arrest"

From the comments:

If God wanted the boy to have long hair it would grow right out of the top of his head.

Thank you Marco.

Mesquite is Garland^3.

Both are hilarious.

/Grew up in shame in Garland.

The Ninj': Can we PLEASE have another Civil War? Win or lose, I don't want to be associated with the south any longer. I live in MN and have to talk to people in SC every day, and god damn are there some dumb asses around there...

I know we aren't perfect in the north, but I think its time we just go our separate ways. They should have let the south secede in the mid 1800's when they originally wanted to.

Why don't you just kill yourself so no one ever bothers you with anything? Dumb ass.

I say give him a 0.5 just for being able to type complete sentences. Use the zeros for the illiterate posts.

after all, i'd hate for my posts to get mixed up with the trolls

THIS. Truer words were never spoken. Most places in Texas don't care. I went to the tiny rural school in the 70's & had hair down to my shoulders. There was no hair code or dress code, and nobody cared. However, back then if you didn't dip snuff they thought you were gay.

I think you just made The Ninj's case for him. The South does such a whole lot of ass. Too many Bible thumpers for there to be any good strip clubs, which as everyone know's is my benchmark for an enlightened culture.

FTFA: "They say the dress code prepares students for a business-orientated society where appropriate dress is critical."

As I sit here in my office overlooking the state capitol, I wonder if I would be more successful if I dressed more business like than my usual jeans, T-shirt and hair down to my shoulders. I think about the guy working here wearing the shirt and tie with dress pants and short hair. If I dressed more like he does I could have a job as a receptionist just like he does. I guess I'll have to settle for being a programmer.

gorgor: Why do Texas license plates have a reminder that it's a truck?
/derp

farm trucks don't pay as much in registration fees, if i recall

and I don't know if the new plates still do that

My point being is that the lady is pissed off her kid is in the library all day for hair that violates school policy.

Yet, she has no answer when asked why not trim the kids hair (off the collar not below the ear)

I just can't see a solution to her problem.

What's the difference then if it's a ghetto accessory eyesore that never touches dirt?

Dahnch: I guess I'll have to settle for being a programmer.

Ohhh, classy! A programmer! We've got a few of those around here.

We just fired one on Monday.

Anyhow, a programmer? Sounds fascinating. Anyhow, make sure you sign out for lunch.

Smarshmallow: Does it matter?

This sort of stupidity is only a problem in government schools.

loonatic112358: Jakevol2: Ok, when did the word hell become offensive?

I'm going to sue:

Kuta: The school has policies. If you don't like them, HOME SCHOOL.

/Home schooled his kids for many years

hell with the stupidity in one form or the other in schools, i think you almost have to unless you need them to go be babysitted for several hours a day

/middle child has severe add(adhd? forget the approriate acronym) but she couldn't pass first grade because she couldn't concentrate, didn't know all the friggen sight words kids are supposed to know when they're done, she got passed anyway

not to mention that when we knew she was having problems and were trying to have it diagnosed, the school was uncooperative

gorgor: What's the difference then if it's a ghetto accessory eyesore that never touches dirt?

not everyone down here who drives a truck does that

and not all trucks get that tag

I used to have a pickup, and it didn't have a truck tag

though it worries me that you may be entirely too close for my comfort if you know this

ajgeek: 2/10

Yeah, telling you to stop being a whiny biatch is not "trolling," sport.

/Oh "pony tail" kewl! Our pizza delivery guy has one.

I know everyone is ragging on Texas (and generally we deserve it) but I'd just like to point out that the whole zero-tolerance thing is cropping up all over the country. The idiocy is not limited just to Texas.

Zero-tolerance = zero-thought.

Decisions at the speed of stupid!

gorgor: Why do Texas license plates have a reminder that it's a truck?

If it's like Vermont, it's because they're taxed differently.

not that I'm defending Texas or anything. The only good thing about Texas is that it keeps most of the Texans in one spot so it's easier to avoid them. I wish they would secede like they always threaten to; and then enforce strict border controls, no one in, no one out.

Jakevol2: Yeah, because long hair and Texas have NEVER gone together.

You know what I like about high school chicks?

I went to elementary school in the 80s and 90s, everyone had hair like that. It was the kid who came to school with a buzz cut that caused the sensation. 1st grade, the first day back from Easter vacation, Ramone saw Terry out the window and yelled to the rest of us, "Guys! Terry's bald!" We kept trying to touch his skull all week.

My brother-in-law's girlfriend's 12 year old son has a mohawk, it looks goofy because he's a skinny little guy with glasses, but he loves it, so whatever. My 300lb mother-in-law refuses to be seen in public with the kid because she thinks people stare. They do, but not at him.

Aw, subby, I wish New Hampshire had a 'school for long hair'.

Sawyer County: Jakevol2: Yeah, because long hair and Texas have NEVER gone together.

they're just inexperienced enough to not know the difference between a good lay and a bad one???

That's why it makes me laugh.

No shiat really!?? LOL

IamTomJoad: the mother was on Fox and Friends pissed that her kid was in the library all day.

When asked if she was going to cut the kids hair (which by the way doesn't need to be cut but, trimmed)so he could go back to class.

She said "No"

If only there was some solution to this vexing problem.

I saw that, it was pretty funny. (Here it is on the Internets (new window)) This mom is a freaking idiot. I got nothing against the kid's hair (it's cute), but this mom is a attention whoring moran.

It really is a good gig. I get a nice window office. I make more than my boss, even after you count benefits. I have very little stress. Even in "this economy" I still get contacted by at least 2 headhunters a week. I can work just about anywhere I want. So far this week I've been contacted about a job in NYC and one in the L.A. area. I'll probably interview for the one in NYC cause they're offering to fly me out there and I have a friend and some relatives there, so I'll make a mini vacation out of it. (I did that twice last year) If they offer me enough money I'll take the job, if not I get a free vacation.

So what do you do?

cfreak: I know everyone is ragging on Texas (and generally we deserve it) but I'd just like to point out that the whole zero-tolerance thing is cropping up all over the country. The idiocy is not limited to, but highley concetrated in just to Texas.

FIFY

Dahnch: So what do you do?

I fire programmers.

Sawyer County: You know what I like about high school chicks?

You get older, they stay the same age...

My boy used to have long hair, but it was never a problem until one day when he walked up to me crying and I looked down and saw two of his toy trucks hanging from his tangled mess. He got his first haircut later that day.

halfof33: Dahnch: So what do you do?

I fire programmers.

LOL, I'm a contractor so I get paid if I get fired.
