The code states that “male students’ hair will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes,”
Conservatives really believe they can Hitler Youth their way out of diversity.
If only they put half that effort into funding schools adequately so kids would have the class sizes and resources to learn. Nah, that's for 1st world countries, not shitholes like us.
1st world countries
Your daily reminder that this is a Cold War era term, so 1st world = US and allies; 2nd world = USSR, China, and allies; 3rd = everyone else
I think you meant 2nd world countries ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Which world is a plutocracy?
We're that one in practice.
Also, language evolves rapidly, terms change meanings over time often.
Try getting 100 random people or even college graduates and try to get agreement on the modern meaning and usage of socialism.
Words and terms evolve, even dictionaries make regular changes to react to already in use changes over time.
I think the more modern usage is 1st world= developed socioeconomic infrastructure 2nd world = developing nation 3rd world = impoverished/underdeveloped nation.
Which world is a plutocracy?
Definitely the capitalist and colonizing “first world” countries, no question. Their wealthy even control Global South countries to a large extent.
I think the more modern usage is
If you meant Global North and Global South, just say it. But it’s completely ludicrous to suggest the US is a Global South country, so I suspect you didn’t mean that.
To be fair, if any place was to enforce a hair style code, it would be Barbers Hill.
(Edit: Nice pun there, I missed it the first time)
There’s a lot of rural Texas that would pull racist stunts — I imagine the situation hasn’t got much better in Whitesboro for instance.
To be clear, that doesn’t make it in any way justifiable.
I think that was a joke about "Barber's Hill" sounding like a place where all the folks in Texas who cut hair live.
Along those lines, Whitesboro should have been the name of the KKK town near where I grew up.
Whitesboro should have been the name of the KKK town
Yeah, that’s what I was going for there. I did miss the pun, so it wasn’t communicated quite so well as I hoped. It’s a great example because it’s an actually rural former sundown town, and it has a name very fitting for that, even if unintentionally.

The code states that “male students’ hair will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes,” CNN previously reported.
????
I guess "at any time" includes when showering and washing their hair at home.
How is this not flying in the face of the CROWN act which literally just went into effect before the second time he was suspended? Are they hoping to challenge that law or are they just hoping they get away with it? Or are they stupid and haven't been advised yet?
They argue it doesn’t cover hair length

Wow, that's beyond a bad faith argument as you can't get those hairstyles unless your hair is a certain length. I hope they lose hard.
It's hard to believe they still suspend kids for nondisruptive hairstyles. This rule is a relic of old school homophobia.
I actually think it was implemented more for the hippy generation. This is based off of what my father in law said about his school life.
I would say I'm ashamed to live in Texas, but I already was. I try not to call myself an American or Texan citizen, given the genocide that Amerikkka and Tex-ass inflicts on my Latino and Chicano brothers and sisters and enbies.
i just left texas and it blows my mind when people willingly move there
Blows my mind as well. If I may ask, where did you move to? I'm hoping to move to Shanghai one day.
Unless you're moving from like Somalia or Ukraine or something and aren't legally or financially able to move anywhere else, I can't reasonably understand why someone would move to Texas.
A lot of people move there because they believe Texas is a conservative state, and they want to live in a more conservative state.
It is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Texas-born Texans average more liberal than the transplants, and it's because of this self-sorting phenomenon.
Hopefully it will become Tejas again in the near future
Actually Existing Cultural Genocide
Typical behavior for US fascist scum. Too bad that school shooters always target random innocent students rather than the fascists in charge of the schools.
See, the problem is that even if they go after the principals, it's not necessarily even their fault – the superindendents on the other hand...
