The issue is if the haircut contravenes school uniform policy – and it does.
In what way? //
Because it is a 'fashion' haircut, and the uniform policy bands 'fashion' haircuts.
Some AB'ers have tried to defend the parents' actions by advising that the haircut is 'smart', and similar to what was worn in the '50's. Both points are true, but that are invalid in the case of this incident. The child was not suspended because his hair was, or indeed was not 'smart', it was because it contravened the school's uniform policy, which parents agree to abide by as a condition of admission to the school.
