The principal's reason for washing out the mohawk is pretty lame. Do they keep ugly kids out because they'll "spoil the photo"? Or kids who wear ugly clothes? Please. If it was disrupting class, or specifically against the dress code, I could see it. But just because some of the other kids thought it would spoil their picture - feh. Conformist whiners. I disagree that a 6-year-old is not aware of his individuality. Kids that age have very distinct preferences and are starting to form the kind of self-awareness that makes them brats by the time they're 8
