School forces child to shave military-style haircut

Seems a bit ridiculous to me....

McMINNVILLE, Tenn. -- A military style haircut earned seven-year-old Adam Stinnett a trip to the principal's office at Bobby Ray Memorial Elementary School.

Adam's older brother Justin is a soldier who has served in Afghanistan, so little brother decided he too wanted a "high and tight" hairstyle. But the school called it a distraction and forced his mom to shave the child's head after sending a note home with Adam.

I would have said it was done for personal beliefs. Once you say that and go on record there isn't really anything they can do about it.

A "high and tight" is a distraction? I would have told them to fk off. That really pisses me off.....
