Let Your Freak Flag Fly

This is insane:
A suburban Dallas school district has suspended a 4-year-old from his prekindergarten class because he wears his hair too long and does not want his parents to cut it.

That's a quote from yesterday's New York Times.

Seriously.
“They kicked me out of that place,” Taylor told a reporter on Dec. 17. “I miss my friends.”

His parents plan to appeal the school board ruling to the state education commissioner. In the meantime, school officials said they would continue to separate Taylor from other children.

Seriously.

They are separating the child from his classmates because he's got long hair.

I hereby urge all teachers -- in solidarity with Taylor, the four-year-old -- to grow your bangs long and let that freak flag fly.

Seriously.
