Rastafarian is a much more logical religion than many of the actually recognized ones. Yet the school spits on it because it doesn't have a billion followers and wasn't around at the time of the Founding Fathers.
If a kid wearing a crucifix had been suspended he would have filed a lawsuit (or merely threatened the school with one) and won.
Plus freedom to dress in schools man. Uniforms suck big time and no school should force people to wear them. It's not cool.
the school should be shut down. everyone involved in the mistreatment of this student should be blacklisted and reported as well as have their licenses revoked. Also, the student should be compensated a fair sum paid out of pocket by the school.
I expect fellow Rasta people will support their brother in arm...

For example, a Muslim student should be allowed to wear a hijab with the uniform if she wants to. And a Rastafari student should be allowed to wear his hair in dreadlocks.
The bigger thing for me is the fact that there's a restriction on hair for males, but not for females. Doesn't make any sense.

There are some ways of dressing that are distracting, but this is too much. Also, what's up with the difference between hair regulations for males and females. it's completely BS.

Fuck dress codes. They are, 50% of the time, forms of behavioral alteration designed to make the student submissive to authority.
