such a diverse set of opinions on this topic. interesting views all the same. In my opinion, what the school did wasn't right, but that is up to the school district and/or courts to decide.
my opinions:
1. A six yr old with a mohawk is bad parenting, why? because you are teaching a child to get attention (negative and positive) with their appearance.
2. schools should have uniforms and dress codes. why? because it's just less disruptive, they are there to learn, not show off their clothes. With uniforms, the lines between the rich kids and the poor kids is less distinguishable. it will help reduce all the hazing and kids picking on other kids because of their clothes.
I'm not a conformist, but i do believe that there is a time and a place for everything. and public schools are not the place for seeking attention through clothing and hairstyles.
anyone who doesn't think that a six yr old wants a mohawk for attention, then you obviously need to pay more attention to children.
