yes, the point is to get an education, but what is it specifically about self expression that prevents children from getting an education?
I don't think it can be adequately answered because the issue is not about education at all, but discomfort. And I don't agree that people need to be protected from the discomfort of seeing people that look different.
If the children are behaving in ways that are destructive that is one thing and that should be handled the same way all behavior problems are handled irrespective of how the children in question choose to arrange their hair in the morning.
And on that note, I am calling it a night. Thank you everyone for contributing to the thread. I will catch up with you tomorrow.
