If it was a cross it wouldn't of been a problem though. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How is the school allowed to enforce that fine? I feel like that could quickly get dismissed in court. Though it probably be cheaper to pay the fine but at this point it'd be out of principle. I know they warned her and everything but still...

What happened to just going to school and getting an education? Why is everything a 1st amendment issue with these people.

I don't agree with the fine but this student was warned and went ahead and broke the rules anyways.

Cant wait for this kid to get a job and see what the world is like. Plenty of time to wear feathers in the unemployment office.

puh-lease. college was no where near as hard as high school made it out to be, and real-life is no where near as hard as college made it out to be.

i had a mohawk when i worked at dell. never once had my job threatened over it.

it's just a feather. the school is just attempting to homogenize the populous and suppress individuality.

If the guy with the mohawk's boss told him to cut that off or lose his job that thing would be gone tomorrow. Its not about her not getting a job because of a feather, it is about the fact that she asked first and decided to do it anyways regardless of the response.

Ironically, the lower you are on the totem pole, the MORE restrictions you're met with. People working at any kinda chain restaurant, retail store etc would NEVER be able to go to work looking like that.

So true, while working at retail after highschool (kmart,walmart) they piss test and refuse to hire anyone who tests positive, whether legal by the state or not. After that I joined an organization caring for adults with mental disabilities. a job in which you regularly handle schedule 2 drugs, transport the consumer to and from appointments, etc. Lets hold the guys stocking shelves and greeting people at walmart to a higher standard than those we entrust to take care of a human life.

It doesnt exactly relate to your post but the less important a position is the more rules management can put in place because those positions are merely warm body positions and can be filled with anyone. If you need a guy to do nasa stuff maybe the one with mohawk really is the only guy for the job and you have to accept that part of him or risk a worse trusting a worse employee to aim that rocket at mars.

It depends on what part of the real world you are talking about. Some places are stricter than other. People have choice, and it goes both ways, whether you are the employer or employee. Again, we are talking Alabama here...even in Houston, when I graduated, some kid even worn a jester clown hat to a fkin graduation '96 and no one said anything.
