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.

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.

They named their child Juelz. Of course they’re trying to sue.

Should have never touched the child. I'd sue too.

You almost certainly wouldn’t win.
