School handbook says no extreme hair styles and something along the lines about cuts, fades, Mohawks and something else (personally can’t remember)
Kid comes in with a design in his hair. He is given 3 options
Call his mom
Color it in with a black sharpie
Receive disciplinary action.
Kid chooses to color in his hair.
Parents get pissed and went to the media and have now sued because of it.
Kid is 13.
Parents sue school because middle schooler used black marker to color in his hair

That should never have been an option to give a child. If he broke a rule, call his parents, don't have him damage his body.
While I don't agree with the school even having an option B (color it in), if the boy didn't like that option, he should have chosen option A or C.
I think the lawsuit is nuts. And I hope the boy loses...because he and his family should not be rewarded for breaking the rule at school.

Coloring it in should have never been an option. But the parents are going overboard with suing. I mean come on, it’s marker, it’ll wash out.

It leaves a semi-permanent mark that takes days to scrub off. That is damaging. If I scribbled in sharpie on your coach, you would say I damaged your property.Anonymous 2 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:03 amMarkers don't damage your body lmao.Olioxenfree wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 8:46 am That should never have been an option to give a child.

Because it will never come off fabrics or leathers. However,it will come off of skin within a couple of day@Olioxenfree wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:05 amIt leaves a semi-permanent mark that takes days to scrub off. That is damaging.

You almost certainly wouldn’t win.
