lol ok. Yep thats my boy I cut his hair this morning. I've never seen a kid not like their own hair. He pulls on it once it starts touching his ears. He has lots of shirts like that. Dad wears em too.
Did you see in the paper where a mother had her kindergarten son in school with a mohawk and they suspended her son. They told her he could NOT have that because it was distracting. She's fighting it but they won't bend the rules. So sad, it's YOUR child you should be able to do what you want.
I didnt see that. I have seen lots of kids with mohawks. Unless its a foot tall and multi colored I dont see the issue. I'll only get so long to cut it like I want before he gets to choose. My bro wore some form of mohawk untill he was about 10.
Thanks MM I knew you'd do a link. I wonder why mom thought she could put her kid in a private school that pushes uniformity and then let her boy have a mohawk? That just seems really dumb to me. To me that would be like wearing a hooker outfit to church.
<r>Heres the school rules......<br/>

I dont consider a mohawk an EXTREAME style. <br/>
<br/>
I also think he should NOT be allowed to wear a mohawk at a school with obvious uniformity rules. I wouldn't consider a 5-6 yo strong enough to rock a mohawk without being disruptive. He could have just combed it back or to the side for school. It's still a mohawk even if it's not spiked.</r>
