The actual dress code written in the article is:
It’s basically “no long hair, regardless of how it is styled.”
Land of the free, home of the "long hair is only for girls".
This view is rooted in 1 Corinthians 11:14-15 "Does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace for him, but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering".
I have no point to make beyond pointing that out as trivia.
Sucks to be Samson
Right? I wonder how Paul thought about that?
Modern depictions of Jesus in shambles.
Paul said a lot of things in his letters that only could have possibly made sense in the time and place of the person/city he was writing to. Yet almost 2000 years later, people are still taking it as an absolute truth.
Paul flat out contradicts the Bible at points. Doesn't he say to refuse food to people in your commune if they aren't working?
His sexism doesn't make sense either. There is a very heavy implication in having the women who followed Jesus maintain their faith and belief when even the disciples did not. Maybe it's unintentional, but it very clearly suggests that the women are far more pious and holy. Paul has no business saying they have no dominion over him.
More like Racist School District is Racist As Fuck. Texas passed a law making this shit illegal, primarily because of this exact School District!
If you have to tell people how free they are, they're not.
Not quite. He is not really wearing a style that would allow the hair to extend below the collar, brows, or lobes because he can't just take out his hair style. Its not a pony tail to be removed and distract all the boys like in the movies, its been documented to be in place for at least 8 days. And even if he did his hair could stick straight out or stright up. Seems like the dress code was written for white people hair and instead of using any sort of common sense to not enforce or even just change the code the school is doubling down on murky rules in the national eye. If it walks like a racist, talks like a racist, and deprives black people of an education because of their hair its probably a racist.
We need to start living by the "see a racist/Nazi, punch a racist/Nazi" standard.
Common sense would help if it was an oversight. It's not.
You know, I was coming in here to make a joke about how when the article says
they would say that "any time" also applies when he takes a shower at home, but the code literally says that. Yikes.
So, no male Sihk students are allowed, unless there's a religious exemption.
You think this backwater bunch of racists gives a fuck about religions that aren't their particular flavor of Christian?
That's such fucking bullshit. Might as well demand a buzzcut and be done with it.
