And fuck Amanda. She's a fucking cliche for small town, small minded, ignorant shithead. Bitch has probably never ventured east of Beaumont or west of Houston. 


This chick definitely has BBC porn in her web history.

Is this woefully under performing school district aware that they’ve convened valuable and depleted resources to tackle the massive challenge that is human hair?  We are talking about hair.  Human hair.  Which, unless It is in your food or contains lice; poses zero issue to your capacity to learn or teach.  
 

I think each of us remembers that mid-level administrator or high school disciplinarian that really made a difference in our life. No it wasn’t that teacher or coach or community leader that sticks with us and makes us the adults we are today.  But rather that associate superintendent in charge of dress code compliance that shapes young minds young souls and future leaders.  
 

I don’t know what happens to public school administrators in their 20s or 30s, but Jesus Christ are they an utterly and completely a waste of societal resources.  
I have no idea what you all do to make yourselves look significant to the mission of education, but I guess keep doing it because I guess it’s better than having more homeless people.  
 

It’s just hair on The head of a young human being.  That’s all it is.   Everything else is an illusion stapled to the scraps left of your life.  I know you thinking in fostering a safe learning environment.  But all you are is a line item on a budget, a headache for parents, And a stark reminder That in every other world but this one, you would’ve been used for bait

So.....there's no way that's a real account.  Looked on FB, found no such account.

that's not even a real person listed on the staff directory of the high school.

but holy shit is that a white bread staff.

Even if she were real, you wouldn’t find another teaching job like Barbers Hill. Pretty sure its teachers are the highest paid in the state. If not, it’s close.

I’ve always heard it’s a really good school. But thinking back now, it’s possible that was some code speak I wasn’t picking up on.

I would assume most small town Texas school dress codes are written from 1950s whites people perspective.  I’m more surprised we don’t see more of these stories.

 

The mullets should have broken through in the 80's...

It takes years (at least several or more) to achieve that kind of length for locs. You can style them, braid them to tie them up to get in compliance with the dress code as he was doing. Now all of a sudden a few months before graduation it's a problem. 

I saw a pic of Barbers Hill boy's b-ball team that had kids also out of compliance with their hair length, I'd bet anything that they weren't suspended (wouldn't take a genius to see why). These rules seem neutral but they are often selectively enforced and black and brown kids are usually the ones penalized.

Are dress codes for hair not a statewide thing? I graduated high school almost 12 years ago and we had similar rules. Men's hair can't go over the ears, can't go past the eyebrow, and can't touch the shirt collar. I got send home a few times because my hair would curl over my ears and teachers would say it was a distraction.

But hey, it's 2020. Just identify as a woman and the hair suddenly becomes in compliance.

Are you Native American or black? Either way, do it for your people.

This hits close to home. As the school is 1 mile from house. The district is one of the best in the area, it is also one of higher paying teaching jobs also. I dont agree with not letting him graduate. The school superintendent son wrecked his truck a few years back and fled the scene. He didnt hit anything other than a pole. But still nothing happened to him or superintendent. Shady things do happen within bhisd.

Messican (no native to America I spose). I speak english though and work in a professional office, so she might consider me "one of the good ones" while I bang some sense into her.

 Cunts are everywhere. Huge, gaping cunts. 

Completely agree.  The part I can't wrap my head around is how some of you think this is going to magically change somehow when the olds are gone.   There will just be new huge gaping cunts wrapped up in their own self righteous cunt flags pissing off the new group of young woke kids.  So it has always been, and so it shall always be.  Ain't nothing special about these times.

Amanda doesn't understand much beyond her narrow mind.

Amanda also needs to change her name to something more presentable to the career change she is about to make. How about Bambi Bubblehead?

that gif would be better if it morphed into VY

I'm da Barber of Hill.  Bee-ga-row, Bee-ga-row.  /buckwheatsings

If you think that's racist, you're a fucking idiot and don't remember Eddie Murphy's funniest moment on SNL.  

 

This real story though is insane.  But schools are the proxy theater of war for a lot of stupid people in Texas now.  Books, hardening campuses, CRT, hair styles, homosexual grooming, etc.  It's all to scare you into wanting vouchers that'll solve everything you've ever worried about happening to your child in school. 

RPT talks a lot after they've been drinking.  There's lots more planned on this front for the 2024 elections in Texas (House & Senate seats, as well as school board and SBOE).  We may be done with the stupid, but the stupid ain't done with us.

Didn't the legislature just pass a law on this sort of thing?

From what I’ve read, the school district (the Super) is saying the CROWN Act isn’t applicable here because the student is being suspended due to the length of the hair, which is horseshit.

Oh ok great, so they're saying it's not racial but gender-based discrimination?  So it's all good? Dumb. As. Shit.

Sounds like a great place to get an education.

Quote

Greg Poole, who has been district superintendent since 2006, said the policy is legal and teaches students to conform as a sacrifice benefitting everyone.

“When you are asked to conform … and give up something for the betterment of the whole, there is a psychological benefit,” Poole said. “We need more teaching (of) sacrifice.”

While I can agree that we don’t have enough self sacrifice in this country, I’m not seeing how this kid cutting his hair benefits others.

Sounds like the school says the suspension is about the hair length which may not be specifically called out in the recent law. This school district has previously defended, hair length rules for boys, in court.

It’s eye rolling to me that 2023 Texas schools are still fighting boys from having long hair.

We will all be better as a society when you cut your hair, damn hippie.

What a bunch of backwoods weirdos.
