Report: Suit filed over team's hair rules
The parents of a former high school basketball player have filed a lawsuit in federal court in Indiana asking that his high school team’s haircut policy be declared unconstitutional, the Indianapolis Star reported on Monday.
The 14-year-old was kicked off the team after refusing to cut his hair to comply with team rules, which require boys to keep their hair short.
School district officials have said that the boy has to play by the rules because there is no constitutional guarantee to play ball or be involved in any other extracurricular activity.
According to the lawsuit, coach Stacy Meyer wanted both the high school and junior high teams to have a “clean-cut” image which is why they have to keep their hair above their ears, eyebrows, and collar.
The school added that hairstyles that “create problems of health and sanitation, obstruct vision, or call undue attention to the athlete” are all reasons for dismissal from the team.
Attorneys for the school district said a 2003 federal court ruling on this same subject leads them to believe they are in the right. In that case, argued in Missouri, the court said the hair policy that allowed a coach to dismiss a player with cornrows was “an asinine, stupid rule.”
Yet, the judge in that case said participation in sports are a privilege and so hair policies do not violate players’ rights.

Sounds like the athletes should revolt if they want the rule changed. - Sort of like politics. NM

I walked out, looked around and didn't see her. I let our cat out (we have the back area fence in so our cat can't get out), well evidently the cat was ar ...

Our Stupid Self-inflicted CrisisJul 25, 2011
New York (CNN) -- Let me get this straight. The people who have been preaching the most about the dangers of American decline are right now helping to hasten American decline. Because if America defaults on its debt, not only will we find ourselves in a far deeper fiscal hole, but the full faith and credit of the United States will be compromised. In our globalized era, that means America will be considered an unpredictable partner and a second-class power. Worst of all, this will be a s ...

The Top 10 Stupid Things Said About Health CareOct 15, 2009

Here is the cream of the crap: 10) Sarah Palin temporarily came out of book-writing reclusion to claim that a health-care overhaul would create "dea ...
