The bashers are back on Political videos

Including the one I mentioned in a post after the Houston mayor was elected. Same culprit, and others jumping in. I need some of you to help out.

It is a video of a boy who had to get his hair cut in the Mesquite ISD. That district is 20 miles from me, and I can tell you they have probably the most draconian dress codes in the state. The district I work in and that my kids attend doesn't have anything close to Mesquite's. This is an isolated incident, but it gets the Texas detractors stirred up.

USA Today 12/17/09
Texas parents battle school over son's long locks
BALCH SPRINGS, Texas (AP) — Pre-kindergartner Taylor Pugh likes his floppy hair just how it is: long on the front and sides, covering his earlobes and shirt collar.

When the boy returned late last month, his hair was longer than ever. But school officials decided suspension was too harsh and changed the punishment to a modified in-school suspension.

"They still have regular classroom work, but in an isolated environment," Mesquite Independent School District spokesman Ian Halperin said. "We expect students ... to adhere to the code of conduct."

The district is known for standing tough on its dress code. Earlier this year, a seventh-grader in the district was sent home for wearing black skinny pants. His parents chose to home-school him.
