because I could have easily been focused on it. playing with my hair like I do now.. oh I twirl my ponytail in meetings, stroke it like a cat.... it's distracting :P
It's a distraction to me to see others with it because I may not be allowed to do so. It's about equalizing, my father would never have let me grow my hair to it's length now. So when I saw people with long hair as a teen, I always coveted it.

something that I just saw when leafing through the student/parent handbook.
Quote:
Head Covering:
Sweatshirt/jacket hoods, hats of any kind, bandanas, head bands, scarves, beanies, and the like, may not be worn on campus during the school day.

I'm going to assume that the orthodox jews were allowed to wear yarmulke or even a muslim headcovering would still be allowed. We did have many who were not Roman Catholic who attended that school including many agnostics and athiests. Everyone was required to have 4 years of religion as part of graduation requirements.
Now understand that these are choices, you get to choose to attend this private school. I believe in NY you get to pick which school you will attend and it isn't based on your address like many other places in the US.
