If they show up to a job with a blue mohawk, they'll get fired unless they're DJing at a punk club.
If the kid wants a mohawk, he can have one during the summer. That's the time and place for a kid to. . erm. . let his hair down. Once he gets to school, he needs to start learning that while crazy hair is fun, it's not generally accepted when you are working in a peopled environment.

I would just like to point out that I agree 100% with this.
There is no place for a blue fucking mohawk in any school, and it's foolish to think there is a place for it. 99% of us would lose our jobs if we came into work with a blue mohawk. There is a place called the real world, and if you want to succeed you have to conform. Hell, I don't like it, but it's a fact of life, and it doesn't make any of us conformist whiners. The only ones whining here are the people who want kids to look like freaks.
