Related, laws being passed to protect people from being discriminated against on the basis of their hair.

The district has argued that George’s long hair, which he wears to school in tied and twisted locs on top of his head, violates its policy because it would fall below his shirt collar, eyebrows or earlobes when let down.

Really curious what their rationale is for shoulder-length girls hair being okie-dokie but boys do it and suddenly the learning environment falls apart.

[-] booty@hexbear.net 59 points 9 months ago

Their rationale is literally just that girls should have long hair and boys shouldn't. That boys having long hair looks "unprofessional."

Source: I went to a Christian high school. I got in trouble over this all the time. My hair is past my waist now. sicko-spin

[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 13 points 9 months ago

got forced into that during school too, problem is that both Jesus and Mohammed had long hair

Not getting paid is also unprofessional. They aren't at work.

frothingfash they're probably gender essentialist christian fash or something. Texas is a hellhole, not because of any curse on the land, and even some of the people are okay, but if the devil is real his hand guides the power systems of that abyss.

i thought jesus was depicted with long hair tho

[-] PoisonIvy@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 9 months ago

Then they'll just say "he was different" or whatever. There is no logic to it.

[-] IzyaKatzmann@hexbear.net 5 points 9 months ago

dang it cant win :/

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

Idk apparently there's a whole thing about how jesus is depicted in art and how that reflects what contemporary people believe about the past.

[-] IzyaKatzmann@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

ah yeah that makes sense, i wonder if current contemporary artistic depictions will have like short hair and look well groomed

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 48 points 9 months ago

Women are naturally born with long hair, and men can never grow hair longer than a couple inches. That's just a basic biological fact. Are you really going to believe your lying eyes?

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago

I actually haven't managed to find my hair's maximum length, it'll grow down past my ass and I have to trim it back because I keep sitting on it

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago

I don't believe you. It's not natural.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 16 points 9 months ago

I am an affront to god and so can you!

Wouldn't be surprised if they had similar limitations on jewelry, skirts, and dresses that arbitrarily limit only boy's options (and I suspect they would probably apply those rules to trans girls as well). Its almost like its more about boomers trying to enforce their weird traditional gender and racial norms onto people rather than actually trying to make an healthy learning environment.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 29 points 9 months ago

And at the same time they're harassing girls with rulers and berating them for having a bra strap showing. honk-enraged monke-rage rage-cry peppino-angry

Like there's some arguments to be made for dress codes, but very few good ones.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 23 points 9 months ago

But that's probably because teens dressed like that distract them and that makes them look bad, but its definitely the underaged girls fault for dressing that way. /s
