School Dress Code Obsolete

Dear Editor,
    I'm a 68-year-old who saw on the news the segment of African American boys being required to cut their dreadlocks. This is uncalled for.
    A 90-year-old dress code is obsolete. Is that school also monitoring the female long hair? It's not the choice of the school to dictate hairstyle.
    My community is a very conservative area and they have enough intelligence to pick real issues to address. Shame on the Texas town who flaunts power like this.
    If Christ walked into their school would they judge him for hair and dress code, and suspend him?
    No wonder we have lack of communication with children when adults worry about hairstyles. Worry about grades, social skills, kindness, and generosity.
