I think this will do well here in the Lounge.:)

Oh, I really wanted a picture of the terrorizing feline.:rofl:
 
What's wrong with this picture? Now, the school has reversed their decision. I'm sure the uproar that has ensued after the family put the story on the internet had nothing to do with it... <cough>. But damn... doesn't anyone use common sense any more?

NBC 9 News A Colorado child's act of compassion got her kicked out of school. But she was allowed back in Tuesday after stories about her dismissal appeared around the country.
Kamryn Renfro, a 9-year-old whose dear friend is battling a rare childhood cancer, wanted to show support by shaving her own head to match her pal's bald pate.
Renfro's parents gave their approval and the young girl headed proudly to school Monday to show her classmates what she'd done. But once there, she was told she was in violation of the Caprock Academy dress code and that she would not be allowed in class.
The girls, playing outside Monday afternoon in a Grand Junction park, said they didn't understand the school's actions.
"It felt like the right thing to do," Kamryn told KUSA-TV.

Her friend, 11-year-old Delaney Clements, said she now feels less like an object of derision, and loves that Kamryn now looks like her.
"It made me feel very special and that I'm not alone," Delaney said.
Fox News.com reported the girl was back in school Tuesday. Caprock Academy, a public charter school with guidelines about what can be worn at school, did not immediately return a phone message left by the Daily News.
In a statement released Monday, administrators said "shaved heads are not permitted."


"It makes me sad because she was really happy to go back to school and show people what she did, but now that she didn't get to, she's kind of sad," said Delaney.
Delaney's mom thought Kamryn had done a very courageous thing and should have been praised for it.
"For a little girl to be really brave and want to shave her head in support of her friend, I thought that was a huge statement and it builds character in a child," she told the station.
School officials later said they would hold a special board of directors meeting to Tuesday to review the incident.
 
They do need to look at it. What if they have a student that is undergoing Chemo?
Tossup between rules and state compensation for student I suppose.

I think CO also had a case about a kid making a gun with his hand and saying BANG.
That gun with the fingers is also the deaf alphabet letter G. Anyone handspelling going to get busted?

A group of us nearly got busted years ago. One friend was deaf and we were using the alphabet for the deaf. Cop didn't understand it and didn't like it.

but seriously...how ridiculous!!! That little girl is a hero...


speaking of ridiculous...I got carded today...FOR BUYING A BIC LIGHTER!!!!

Why should there be a rule against shaved heads in the first place?:confused:
 
I remember standing and waiting at a bus stop with my bro. Him bald after chemo, in his first but very specialized and wellpaid job after an expensive study, wearing skinny jeans and a leather jacket. Some grandfather-ish type was watching him and walked up to tell him 'you youngsters, kicking against society, shaving yer head and all. Look at you. It's time you start serving society, get a job.'
Prejudices. That is why.

Wait...I get the walking in the street and buying drugs part.

I didn't know you could get busted for 'having no identification'
