CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The only reason I can think of is the scant and unclear research on things like uniforms and dress codes.
I agree it's a bit...unimportant from my perspective, but that applies to the child too. Ostensibly, the kid is gonna cut his hair at some point. I wonder if his mother is the infamous native American "Siouxs-too-Quickly."

But he doesn’t seem to take into consideration that some customers prefer pink-haired workers.
This kid is not waiting on customers; he’s in grade school. So long as his hair is tidy and clean I don’t see the problem.

Yeah, they can demand to be referred to by whatever gender they want but not their hair style. Ughh this world is ridiculous.

I can see having dress codes but not on hair styles. We don’t want kids walking around dressing provocatively or inappropriately but if they want to walk around with their hair looking messy or ridiculous the schools shouldn’t be able to intervene.

We’re there white kids mentioned in the article that had long hair and weren’t required to get a haircut?

Yes. I have JUST learned that. I find that shocking.
Why would someone be okay with a coworker getting fired for arbitrary reasons like that?
I find it MORE disappointing when terrible or mean employees are kept around.

That would be up to the business to know their market. Of course, sometimes businesses screw that up, as Disney and Budweiser have discovered. They might want to attract more pink-haired-worker-preferring customers only to find out that pink-haired customers still don't like their product and won't patronize their business regardless of them having pink-haired workers.
I agree, although it would be interesting to know how parents in the school district (that is, the market) felt about the issue.
