Suspension for Long-haired Teen


Zach Aufderheide, a junior at Canton South High School in Ohio, has been punished with a three day in-school suspension for growing his hair nine inches long. A victim of bullying, Aufderjeide wanted to grow his hair ten inches long in order to donate it to the charity, Locks of Love. Though he is only an inch short of his goal, school officials said that he is violating the school policy, which doesn’t allow students to have hair that disrupts class or blocks others’ view. However, Zach says that he always keeps his hair in a tidy ponytail.

  1. This school really needs to evaluate what they're doing to this kid. They're basically discouraging his generosity for the charity.

  2. Seriously he is trying to donate his hair for a good cause and second how does his hair disrupt class or block anyones view?

  3. I really don't understand why they would enforce this rule so strictly. The school should respect this kid's kind heart to grow his hair for charity.

  4. The school is basically discouraging him to grow his hair for a good cause. I also highly doubt it's disrupting anyone's veiw. How can the school tell him what to do with his hair?
