Another personal grooming controversy at a school, this time in Kansas and dealing with a faux-hawk. An excerpt from the story
The school still didn't like it and had a staff member who was licensed to cut hair shaved Derby's head. His parents said the action was taken without their permiss."
Derby's father, Jesten McReynolds, says they let students have various shapes in their hair the rest of the year that could draw just as much attention. He and other family members said it seems unfair they won't let him wear his hair how he wants. They're also upset the shaving was done without their permissions.
