This kid has a [b]lot[/b] of talent.  He will be a very good high school player if he follows the rules.  Would hate to see him waste his skills because he won't cut his hair.

[/quote]Maybe the rules dont apply to him?.....  I know it was a different time but when I was in school, if you didn't respect the powers that be, you hit the road. Then you got hit when you got home.........people like the Silsbee coach are a dying breed.

it always comes down to money especially in this day and age

parent threatens to sue the school and there are attorneys all over the place that will jump all over this opportunity

especially in the law suit capital of America

law suit gonna cost the school 30K minimum so the school has to decide whether it is worth the money or not

in this day and age and financial time most schools will not take that chance

however, all it would take was one school fighting back and proving that this type of frivolous stuff will not hold up in court and all they crying about heritage, history, and culture would stop and those that should be running the schools would be able to do their jobs again

Head's up, Kountze.  Here's a prospect for you.

[WOSgrad]

He's getting cut some slack because he is still in junior high.  When he gets to Silsbee High, it's gonna be a different story.

Setting a bad standard.

[/quote] That's a common thing these days, make the rules and then make exceptions for "the good players" ::), this makes it OK for everyone to break a rule they don't agree with, right? ;) :D :D :D

I think this kid should be banned from playing at Hamshire Fannett tonight. Then reinstate him for next week. I bet that one game suspension will wake him up ;D

I commend the school district for trying to set rules and make the students follow them, thats what is wrong with society today, everyone thinks that the rules do not apply to them. I mean where does it stop. Cud-o's to the school for trying to make everyone follow the same rules.

[/quote] Yea but looks like the rules dont apply to this kid. Race card and law suite scare some fokes

[BLUEDOVE3]

I got the impression that the wording for the hair requirements singled out more towards the style that a lot of African American kids like to wear. Maybe the wording or descriptions should be a little more broader to fit all. But he should be banned fo tonights game against Hamshire Fannett ;D

[Guest speechless]

i have never understood how "braids" or "afros" singles out black kids?  i get where the slang term "afros" came from but i have seen lots of white kids with braids and afros

however there are plenty of ways to word it where the rule book analyzers can't argue
