Staffers at a Texas junior high school colored in a black teen's fade haircut with a jet-black Sharpie to discipline him for violating the school dress code, according to a lawsuit filed by his parents.Pearland Independent School District
But the next morning, then-Assistant Principal Barcelona approached J.T. and told him to go to the discipline office because he was"out of dress code." And so,"under great duress," he chose to have his head colored in, the suit said. His parents were not contacted even though their numbers were readily available at the school.
SageHillfarms On one hand haircuts like this have been listed in the dress codes as not allowed, on the other hand the school had zero right. Dress codes are ridiculous now days. Hair is hair. It's not going to make kids learn any better if it's your boy next door cut. Teachers are the issues.
if these haircuts symbolize gangs violence, schools are allowed to ban them..
Raise teacher pay!
What kind of psychopaths are they hiring in Texas?
Yup. While laughing at him. They shouldn't be around kids anymore, much less teachers...
This racism story is like 5 days old. Get your racism interns out there and get some new content already.
Why are all of you upset about this but you leave Virginia’s blackface governor it office? You people have selective fake rage syndrome. It’s OK to be racist if you are a Democrat.
This is stupid how could they have done this to this child get the sharpie and color their ass what did they prove? There ignorance for adults😤🤬
Who is going to jail?
Texas School Staffers are imbeciles.
How stupid can those staffers be!!! My god if I was there they would have used a can of black spray paint..
What do you expect, it’s Texas
Assault
That's a stupid rule.
Parents should be supporting rules .Parents are responsible for child’s actions.
Jesus!
I'm still waiting on the one story about the kid's mom or dad being arrested for beating that staffers ass😡😡😡
If I had a child and some racist garbage like this happened. Fuck a phone call. I would've been up in that motherfucking school live and in living color. That's the way my mother did when I was in school. She didn't play.
This is just so incredibly unbelievably offensive & wrong. The staff members who did this should be fired immediately
If it was against the dress code, why did the parents allow the kid to have it and send him to school? Poor parenting maybe.
Everyone who says the kid should've followed the rules clearly can't see past their own nose when it comes to race issues. Ask yourself honestly, would a teacher have drawn sharpie on a white boy or girl's scalp?
Who will consider the mental impact this type of behavior will have on this child Was that even considered ?
Almost like this was pre-planned.
Maybe stop being a shithead and follow the rules at school. 🤷🏻♀️
...Jesus Christ Texas get it to-fucking-gether
My own child is black this type of behavior from any teachers or school is not allowed regardless since when is a school allowed to discipline their students that’s a violation in itself
Not a black student!!!
And humiliation of a student isn’t against any school code ?
Why are they putting hands on a student period !
Christ on a friggin cracker
WHAT THE FUCK
Actually it was his choice to have it done, but of course another race baiting headline. Feel free to wake up people. Race isn’t the problem, but the media 100% is!!
You’re kidding me right .
How?
Follow directions. This is the main problem with society - everyone thinks they can break the rules. Bad parenting.
Why are they so afraid of black People hair
They all need to be fired. I do hope that lawsuit includes all of them for damages.
A few years back they would have whipped him and shaved his head with a dull knife
Anything could have happened you don't put a sharpie on someones scalp what if he had gotten an infection. He could have very well have had a cut or scratch on his scalp. Thank God he is okay.
Is Texas trying to be the new Florida?
alaskarebel WTAF! Why would you do this to a child? Makes me so mad.
THE PARENTS SHOULD SUE AND THE PPL THAT DID THIS SHOULD BE CRIMINALLY CHARGED!
This is a racial assault.
There’s a lawsuit coming there! Stupid staffers!
Terminate them... appalling behavior, cruel and unjust!
Rules are rules....if you know what they are but still insist on breaking them, there are consequences
The sooner people understand there role and understand that we all have rights no matter what age,race or gender.
They should be disciplined. They had no right to touch that young man’s head there job is to teach and make sure students are following the rules. This could have been resolved by calling his parents and addressing the matter with them.
Overstepping. Not ok.
and if he gets a tattoo on his forehead?
School staffer needs to he fired. This is just horrible. Young man you are a wondergul human being. Please be strong and ignore this bully. Xo
'Unless that dress code has an enforcement policy that clearly states 'carvings will be colored in with permanent marker matching the hair color'....'spikes will be flattened'.... mohawks will be cut down'....etc., the school district will learn a tough lesson.'
Always a lawsuit over stupid stuff the students parents are responsible for. This will be a loser suit in court. Rules are rules.
Dress codes are completely subjective bullshit. It's no wonder when the rules and enforcement are racist. Hope the kid and his family get a nice payday from this.
Why no adult stood up for this kid? How can anyone be a by stander?
What’s the big deal? A lot of kids around here have haircuts like that it’s cool.
next time just follow guidelines and suspend him from school and dont try and find alternatives to help stay in school
this is ridiculous..... I hope they win the lawsuit...there is going to a parade of school systems pulling the hair style stunts
The audacity to continue to abuse Black Children.
Kazıdım nasıl kafa ama artık böyle keltooş babana koş 😂😂😂
Nope. Fuck that.
School was wrong. Should have just sent him hime for violating school code
I’m guessing the staffers were also black?
Who in the hell is making these stupid ass policies? Of discipline need to be handed out. From the teacher up to the superintendent need to be taught a lesson. Smfh! Leave our black kids alone.
WTF is wrong with people?!
Simply put. Line every one of those 'teachers and administrators ' up and shave their heads THEN draw on their scalps and make them do a walk of shame through the school. This is a lawsuit.
This was inexcusable. There was nothing offensive about his haircut, I think they just wanted to pick on a young black boy. At that age, both girls & boys use their hair as their identity. Native Americans teach that 'Wisdom is in the hair' why many of them never cut their hair.
WTAF?
If teachers can't enforce rules then why have any?
What!? People...I don’t understand....So wrong...🤨
Give me a break, this poor kid probably was really loving his hair and you went and brought him down, just to be mean.
Demented.
All staffers fired immediately + they never work with children again.
There is haircut code ? Wtf USA some crazy crap happens there 🤣🇨🇦
I don't even know why I still follow you guys.
Teach your Children their rights !!! It’s not okay for anyone to ever put their hands on you !!!
For THEIR ignorance and abuse of authority, I hope the parents sue them and get MILLIONS!
Not sure what happened here but it’s probably against school dress code to have certain hair cuts. Yes its retarded. But keep in mind schools have been known to be retarded. In my school If you dont wear a belt or a tie you get a detention. Same with facial hair. 100% clean cuts.
Fire those staffers, they no right to do this no matter who they are.
Lawsuit? The kid was wrong
Wow what year is it in Texas? What happened to contacting parents first?
Whaat😱😱😱😱!!
It's okay to have rules, but they also need to have rules governing the punishment. Clearly, the staff doesn't and they will pay.
Fire them
I was mad until I saw the parents pulled the race card....... give me a break.
Teenager breaks rule gets punished. End of story.
What!
WTF is wrong with Texas
Dam shame, but that's what's wrong with Texas they need to have more tougher laws like California
How is this child's haircut negatively impacting anyone? This is targeted harassment to make people - children - of color feel less than. It is disgusting and 100% WRONG. These 'educators' should be terminated immediately. How sick!
Did his hair have the answers to a test or showing the anatomy of a man or woman? If not, those staffers need to be ashamed of themselves.
So who is disciplining the perpetrators?
Yet Republicans rail against socialism!!!?
Ignorant asshats and I’m GLAD they’re suing!!
Enough!!!!!!!! The teacher created a distraction.....get rid of her. Enough!!!!
Proves the ignorance of the older generation
How are people this stupid 😳
They didnt color in the fade. They colored in the design. And yes that was wrong by the school staffer.
Why does far-left ABC feel the need to say “black” student and not just student? Are they trying to imply racism to push the Democratic agenda?
Reminds me of the time I bought my 3 yr old a yellow fire hat. Days later his blond hair had turned green. The main concern was the toxicity of the substance released from the hat and potential health issues. Other than the violation of this precious boys rights, I hope his 1/2
It's neat and clean. Wtf right does any school official have to touch any child in such a demeaning way? I hope they have to pay out their oppressive asses. Equality RESPECT
Dress code or not......
Ok, those staffers should be fire and that school should be put on notice!
This galls me.
School is the last place any child should be
JoyLove221 Oh no no no no no!
🤦🏽♂️
Do. Not. Touch. Another. Persons. Hair. Period. Especially not a child’s.
It’s assault, plain and simple! Do that in public to a random stranger and see what happens. Being a teacher doesn’t excuse the fact it was assault
This is abuse (psychological) ! Parents need to sue all involved !!! This is beyond ridiculous! The USA has gone nuts !
Texas....why am I not surprised. 🙄😒😠
“J.T.'s mother had tried calling and emailing the district superintendent, but she never heard back. Her attorney then sent a letter demanding the three involved staffers receive training. No one responded.” Literally adding insult to injury.
If the kid broke the rules, what were the reasons that his parents weren’t notified prior to using the marker? Is it a crazy idea to hold the administration accountable?
I’m surprised that the school workers were not arrested on assault charges. I’m also surprised that they were not afraid—of the reaction of the child’s parents. Just let some school worker attack my child with a sharpie; they’d get more than they ever bargained for! ReallyStupid
SHITHOLEUSA
Its a wonder they didnt spray paint it.
That’s going to far! I don’t see how he violated any school dress code. I guess they viewed it as being too black! 😢
What would they do if a blonde kid did this? Nothing.
White racism - white rules - more white racism.
This is assault and they need to sue and press criminal charges
Nope. No way this would be ok if it was my child. Nope.
Can someone explain to me how marker in his head was supposed to NOT be distracting? How does THAT follow the dress code?
Fire those c*nts
Why
🔥 they asses immediately
I would've went in that school and kicked somebody's ass
Every kid in that school ought to show up with similar hair styles.
Some days I wonder why non-white people stay in the South. I'd move my ass out of there.
This is beyond rediculous so if a kid with blonde hair did the same what would they do use whiteout it's a hair cut not something that can hurt someone
Race bait alert!........
This better be a fake story, how dare them, if this is a real story, put there hands on that kid without notifying the kids parents, 2nd, the school has a hand book, so the parents should have known the dress code rules, though, hair isn't a 'dress code',I would be suing, period.
Is it that hard to just not do this?
They did a good job matching the hair color to the marker.
A statement from the district in April reiterated the school dress code, which said: 'Hair must be neat, clean and well groomed. Extreme hair styles such as carvings, mohawks, spikes, etc. are not allowed.”
This is the quality of staff you get when you pay your teachers so poorly.
He was give 3 options, he chose that one.
Aaaah! The Texas White Bible Thumping racists!. They never fail to disgrace themselves!
Well, that didn't take long.
School dress code is pretty clear. Follow it or you’re non complaint. He was non compliant. He chose to have his hairline coloured to prevent suspension and it was a good lesson. The question is would they have to the same to a white pupil? If the answer is yes, then it’s fair.
Wow. This is how far we have come. We are suppose to go forward but here we are going backwards. Good job society
What ever happened to calling the parents? There are steps that have to be followed.
Somebody's ass would be mine if that was my child! They had no right to put their hands on that child and someone would pay dearly and I dont mean with money!
Somehow I think if this student was white, we wouldn't even hear of it.
Was 'Calling the parents' not an option? Did they really make a middle schooler choose without getting a parent or guardian involved? As a parent, this was the most upsetting part. Call me 1st before using a sharpie to draw on my kid's head 😡
What the fuck?
STARR_buckss First off deal with the parent second off don't touch ma damn child.
Texas Florida, Florida Texas. It never fails
Hey, it's Texas. In Florida they'd have used Day-Glo.
No drip
Big deal Lol you guys are so soft it’s crazy . When I was in high school you were forbidden from dying your hair, or shaving designs on your head . Nobody got upset . It’s called a proper dress code . Anybody upset by something like this should probably just give up
Thankfully he wasn't dragged into the principal office with a rope around his neck. Texas still living in the past.
Intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Rules and rules.
Oh my word this is so wrong. Children do not check their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse door and I see nothing wrong with his haircut, it causes no disruption and it’s the students body and right. Tinker v Des Moines precedent springs to mind.
Have they heard of hat? Give the kid a hat and a warning
This is illegal. WTF!!
Christ... you clearly DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION to mark on children with sharpies as a Teacher in any school. But to color in his haircut?! People ought to be fired. This kid’s personal autonomy was violated.
It was nice of them to not make him shave his head completely. The rules said you weren’t allowed to have things carved into your hair..
😂😂😂
🤑
What type of vetting are these “school staffers” getting?!
Sharpie or Suspension? That's a choice I never thought I would hear of being offered.
They don't mess around in Texas, do they?
Good. These people's haircuts are a distraction in the class.
Ridiculous.
Sharpies are so flexible
WHAT?
Lord.. it's just a hair cut people.. deal with it.
gatadelafuente Uhm
I would like to think that I would have been as civil as these parents, but I doubt it.
What's up with people and hair Unless it's a gang related, who cares?
What does hair have to do with learning? This is discrimination. I sure hope the family file charges and sue the school. This is wrong and then people knew better to do something like that to a child.
😡😡
Reminds me of government boarding schools for Native Americans when they cut our braids.
😡
Wtf is wrong with people. That’s what this teacher wanted to teach? Ignorance, dehumanizing a person and racism? Fire the teacher. Plenty of great teachers out there deserving jobs.
Fire all. Mortifying a child is 100% unacceptable
itsSandraDee I mean of course but it really didn’t even need to be said tbh
Friggin' Texas & Fl... so backwards man.
itsSandraDee This is anti-education, and child cruelty. Thanks again, Texas!
Sorry once you put a marker on the my child that falls in the category of assault
I hope the parents win, unbelievable.
If the school was trying to get sued this is a very good way to do it
These racist Trumpters have lost their Damn minds !!
I'll never understand dress codes.We never had them when I went to school. Who cares about a hair cut?
That's assault . Lock them up !
White supremacy is real. PearlandISD is clearly supporting this. houstonarea
Jaws
Like if a girls skirt is too short are they just gonna draw it longer onto her legs with that same Sharpie or nah?
My mom would be been there the next day...and it wouldn't have been pretty.
Modmother 'J.T. had never been in trouble before...' Bastards.
Couldn't be my child. Let's leave it at that!
How about we all show up with buzz clippers in hand to shave some heads?
Wow
This goes so beyond wrong I really don’t know what to say. Texas cops on horse lead black man into town by rope and now their teachers are coloring in the hair of black children. Our country is in sad, sad shape.
Why is the fact that he's black relevant to this story. IdentityPolitics
Assault on a minor. This is criminal.
🤬
I read the whole thing trying to give benefit of the doubt. What is the symbol, what is the dress code, were other students treated this way? No, this is straight up racist BS! Those staffers need to be fired.
They should be arrested for assault.
ReignOfApril arrest them for assault, this is so disgusting, grown adults tormenting a child😡🤬
Guess staff is not to sharpie on treating people appropriately.
YRUMarchingTX Sounds like Pearland
ReignOfApril Once again the educational system fails Black kids. They'd rather have a freak out over a damn haircut than actually keep a child in the classroom to learn. Over disciplining BIPoC seems to be preferable to teaching them.
ReignOfApril What on earth did I just read?!
ReignOfApril It's either Texas or Florida.
Wtf is wrong with people to do this to a kid...
rolandsmartin What the hell is wrong with people?
rolandsmartin Slavery in the 21st century! Black folk need to stop take a stand against this behavior!
rolandsmartin Lord be a fence between me and the staff that used a marker on my child's head. Somebody's going to jail. It's the beginning of school he probably didn't know he was violating a rule, and why not call his parents to pick him up?
Wow!
Let's play.. who can get fired fastest roulette!
rolandsmartin Now y’all have gone to far
Don’t let this terrible story distract you from the fact that the principal’s name is Tony Barcelona. Guys named Tony Barcelona are going to be bad news 100 percent of the time.
I can’t believe an adult (with supposedly good sense) made that stupid decision and thought it would be okay.
rolandsmartin Leave our children hair alone! WTF!!!
rolandsmartin Folks are out of bounds. Do not touch someone’s child!🤬
rolandsmartin WTF 🤬🤯😡
rolandsmartin Isn’t this child abuse?
Without notifying the parents?!?! Hopefully they sue that school and the staff.
Don't touch my kid!
As a teacher this both saddens and angers me. Maybe the media could report on the good things that happen in schools every day instead of the extreme issues that occur in few places.
omg ACLUTx
Are rules a new concept to some people
Those so-called educators would have to answer to me if that were my child...TakeTheSteeringWheelLord
Awful, staff should be terminated for that
Y’all do that in Atlanta and see what happens.... that’s just wrong!
OMG that's just awful. Just like you send a kid home to change their shirt when they come to school with a tee shirt with swears all over it, you send the fade home with a note for the parents to correct the code violation. Super easy to buzz that out or put apply eyebrow powder.
Texas is literally New Florida and should be renamed.
😢😡👎
And then it’ll be the kid’s parents’ fault for going up to the school and loosing their shit on the officials. Smh
GovHowardDean That's assault.
GovHowardDean TSFUS
This is so wrong.
GovHowardDean That is assault
LaurenDownSouth This is assault. Fire those staffers and charge them.
Good for the School Staff for Doing the right thing
GovHowardDean
GovHowardDean Why have they not been arrested
Someone draws on my child you gonna need to call the police on me and An ambulance for who ever did it
GovHowardDean 🤬seriously?
GovHowardDean This shit doesn't happen to white kids
GovHowardDean This poor young man. From the sound of it, he's a good student, plays sports, and hasn't been in trouble. Those so-called adults took advantage of this young man and humiliated him. I hope his parents drag that entire district over the coals for this racist behavior.
I would go to that school and kick his ass, they would be calling police on me
GovHowardDean Systemic racism at it's finest
GovHowardDean It’s an Assault.
That’s totally ridiculous. I remember when my son was little some dumb ass made him cut his little pony tail off before he could play basketball. He was 5. Talk about ignorant. These parents have a right to be upset.
I do not understand someone's obsession with a child's haircut. As long as it is nothing obscene, what difference does it make? He was probably very proud of his haircut, then these idiots strike a blow to his confidence.
IAmSophiaNelson Before commenting about teachers, how about reading the article. This was an administrative decision and has nothing to do with a teacher....
They’re going to have to cough up a lot of money for their stupidity
KattyKay_ Texas man...
Reminds me of that crazy teacher from California
Guess it would be okay by the dress code to draw lines with a marker all over his head and face?
What the hell
First of all its not like the schools just started dress codes people. It's no secret that in a lot of schools the dress codes are that you cant have any kind of shit shaved in your head but we all know what's going on here , just another BIG PAY DAY SEEKERS.
Teachers and principal who has yet to act on them should be fired and the school should be held for all expenses...court, reparations and counselling. How dare you imagine a rule in a book allows you to assault and humiliate a child in such a manner!!
Is a spiked hair cut with gel against dress code too? Just asking
Will it ever stop.
I'm sure the headline is ALL you need to know about the story.... It sucks having to dig through news outlet after outlet in order to find the whole story anyone else agree?
By staff, was it teacher or principle? Bc he should have been sent to principle for principle or V.P. to determine what happens. Not the child or teacher. A sharpie is never the answer.
Another example of the American society demonstrating its explicit ownership of black bodies. This will only stop when we make it stop.
High Schools shouldn’t be worrying about hair styles.
Disgusting !
😡
That’s assault. Terminate and prosecute.
I think there is no such thing as the grade changes with hairstyle etc…
WTF. These people should be fired. No ands ifs or buts
For everyone missing the point: they laughed while they colored in his hair with a sharpie. They didn’t call his legal guardians; they didn’t just tell him to fix it by tomorrow. They took a child and exerted their authority over him and flipping laughed as they did it. No no no!
lol - that will wash out in time.
This would never happen to a white child.
Crazy....... why not just call the parents to pick him up? Why draw on his head? I would be livid if this was my kid!
There in school not prison ...😡🗽this ate russia
That’s outrageous 😟
Bright fluorescent green would have looked better.
Really! You put your hands on my son and god help you I swear 🤬
Who does this?!? I am not an SJW by any stretch of the imagination, and this kiddo probably knew the rules. But this response is a violation of basic dignity and just plain wrong.
WTF, touch my son like that and see what happens. Jerks!!
No child should be put in that position. Is this another school where the only inappropriate hairstyles are for black and brown children?
Should have suspended him until it grew back.
Who are these teachers? And why would they think it’s okay to do that? Ughhh!
What else is new? 🤷♂️ 👀🇨🇦
Humiliating kids is so ignorant. What's with the hair dress code anyway?
Texas.. nuff said.
To me shows ignorance and racial discrimination, if a white girl comes to school with braids that show part of her scalp which many braids do, will they color that in? For the crying out loud what is wrong with people?
It's called Democracy BetoSaidSo It's time to take Texas back from CrookedPolitics VoteRedToSaveTexas
Who are these teachers who keep putting their hands on students? This is assault. Keep your creepy hands off children and teens. Stop looking for excuses to touch them!
Staffers, as in more than one? What a bunch of dipshits.
How do educators conclude that humiliating a student with a sharpie is the most appropriate answer?
One word LAWSUIT
Read: It is being ALLEGED. The lawyer went to the media before the school even received notification. Is it likely staffers filled in his z-line with a black sharpie? No. This reeks of BS. But let’s all be dumbasses and take the allegation as truth. 🙄
these teachers are not qualified enough,and they should be disciplined and fired!
Assault
Only in Texas
Are you fucking kidding me😡
Enough is enough. This was done to show superiority and to humiliate him. They should be fired.
The entitlement of some individuals is staggering. It's almost challenging to believe.
Texas. The lone IQ point state.
I wonder if theye be ok with it happening to their kid?
It was just a haircut. Do those people do the same to 'white' kids with different kinds of hair styles? It's not a military school.
LAW SUIT!!!
Texas needs to focus on teaching history factually. They are lucky it wasn't my son!
EveMichaels7 A Sharpie? Are Texas school staffers stupid much?
Fold he getting very bold by touching people kids. My child would have definitely been suspended but I may have gotten arrested for battery. Just send him home, don’t intimidate him!
A little common sense could go a long way. Unless someone can prove how this haircut is disruptive to the educational process, you better start reevaluating your priorities.
Why didn’t they call the boys parents to come pick him up? That’s protocol when a kid breaks school dress code. I’m not sure why this is a rule, who could possibly be distracted by this?
That should be an assault charge. Teachers should not lay hands on children.
Good
I get it violated the dress code but that does not excuse the behavior this poor child was subjected to by people being paid with tax payer money to educate children. Let a teacher put a hand on my son and draw in his hair with a sharpie. Imagine if he was allergic to it.
tomorrow he should shave it off and tag it himself!
That was wrong. But his parents should be find for every day he's out of school until it grows back. And if he misses more than the allotted days then fail him.
So they put a ink marker on his skin? They should be fired
Dress codes are rules that should be followed. If the haircut is against code, then it’s an issue. Doesn’t look bad to me, but let’s let our kids learn to respect rules. On the other hand, what a terrible means of discipline. Or maybe this was done to abate the violation.
Must be Trumpers.
Yeah that’s better. 🙄
This is wrong. 😡😡😡😡😡
That sharpie just made the family rich
Apparently the staff never got the memo about school vandalism? Absurd.
I would make sure they were fired.
They should have just sent the kid home and not let him back until his hair grew back...they would have avoided a lot of hassle for sure
Lots of uses for a Sharpie...kinda like duct tape
Most people’s hair is NOT jet black in the first place! ACLU coming!
Texas strikes again!
Only in 🇺🇸 America would schools violate & shame the Children for ethnicity or not having enough 💰for Lunch.
That's messed up. Sue the school. File assault charges against the staff. That's cruel and unusual punishment. Mental abuse.
WTF? They should be GONE!!
Wth
They should also contact the ACLU. These so called teachers need to be fired!!
People are stupid
What? Should they have used a green Sharpie?
Lawsuit, period.
Why do you have say a black kid ? This is why news makes everything about race I've seen 3 kids kicked out over clothes and hair . Teacher needs fired it's wrong ! But can't ya just say kid?
Lol
Shit my son is the one kid with designs in school, they been had me fucked up
Call the lawyers.
JFC
WTF.... You don’t my kid writing on your desks! Well, I don’t want YOU WRITING on MY KIDS!
Fire the teachers
All of the Mohawk hair cuts and hair dyed pink, green, blue are radical compared to this young mans hair. What gives
Really, tedcruz physical punishment in Texas ? ... Whities wanted to hurt a blackie or do with white boys too ? ..And why no letter to his parents with the rules and asking to adjust it (if needed) for next day ? idiots But primetime at foxnewstalk ?
This. Must. Stop
Fire everyone. What the actual fuck is wrong with people?! These “educators” spend more time monitoring dress code than teaching. Also, A SHARPIE?! At what point did these nimrods think that was a good idea? The lack of pay is really getting to their brains.
Im just so sick of all these hateful people
.I would call that assault.
Only in Texas? That sort of thing never happens here.
Well that's gonna be assault.... Idiots...
How do we know he didn't color it himself?
He had funny colored hair!! Waaaaaa!! 🙄
Them folks handled that way better than I ever would have Them folks got control and discipline
THIS IS DISGUSTING! AND THE SCHOOL SHOULD BE CALLED ON IT!
Texans are completely out of their minds. You can’t expect anything sane coming out from that racist state. Shame on those supposed educators.
All three employees should be fired immediately....never allowed to work in education again....I can’t believe the Principal allowed this to go on....my thoughts and prayers are with the young man and his family
One teachers should be fired and charged with abuse. Second what the hell WAs inappropriate about this kids hair cut
Sportsworld716 'Hair must be neat, clean and well groomed. Extreme hair styles such as carvings, mohawks, spikes, etc. are not allowed.”
Fire they ass
That school district needs some cultural sensitivity training. Such a shame.
Maybe I missed something but can someone explain to me what was wrong with this child’s haircut?
RacismDog
I would’ve had the fuckers up on charges if they did that to MY kid.
😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
Oh for crying out loud those people didn’t have something constructive to do ?
Fire them .
USA is nuts!!!!!!
I had to read that subject title a number of times to understand it.. Who edits this? That editor should head back to school...
RigbyReeb This is batshit crazy! Totally humiliating and must NOT be tolerated.✊🏾
Frankly, that's assault!
Who hires these people?!
Let some teacher do some $hit like this to my kid.....
Regardless if he broke the dress code or not, you can't do that to him. His parents should take appropriate legal action.
ReviewResist How is that not battery?
If I were his parent, I would want them charged with assault and anything else on the books. Even if he violated the rules, they had no right to lay their hands on him. Stupid rule, btw.
If it violates the dress code give him detention, you don’t humiliate a child like that. Completely disgusting.
He was given a choice and chose the sharpie. Parents should have been aware of the dress code. If you don’t like the rules, change them!
WHAT?!?
So rules are unimportant in 201
Lmao wtf he let them do this?
Just your kind of irrelevant issue. Teacher was wrong.
Stupid. Your worried about hair? Why don’t you just do your job and teach the kids.
Wow I graduated just in time. I cant imagine not being able to have your hair how you want it. Clothes are already taken to an extreme. What’s next? There’s too many controling assholes in the education system.
How on fucking earth is this kind of shit happening in 2019?!
Stop touching other peoples HAIR
We’ve gone nutz. 😢
WTH! Dorothy we aren’t in the US anymore.... SMH
That is an assault on that teen and the person who did this should be charged!
Lawsuit time.
Bad move Texas school.
Wow...
Why is it a problem if it wasn’t violent or gang related. It’s not disrespectful or disruptive. Other students don’t see it. Only teachers see that. If it was spelled out in the hand book maybe it was a NoNo. 🤷🏻♀️
I thought someone got shot; I’ll check back later. Btw was that marker permanent?
The tolerant left...smh 🤦♂️
WTF WHY?
This is ridiculous and disgraceful! These school staffers should be fired and criminally charged.
Unacceptable. No, no, no. I’m so upset for this kid!
This is Horrible
Wtf. Why not call his parents?
Why are hairstyles in the dress code in this century?
This bat shiggity crazy! Why? The teacher had NO WAY THE STAFFER WOULD DO THAT TO ANY CHILD let alone mine!!!!!! OMG
Amazing. They need to be slapped silly. In public. By that kid.
Unfortunately, this young man will remember this abuse for the rest of his life. I’m so sorry that the adults involved didn’t know right from wrong. The whole lot of ‘em should face serious consequences.
I want those 3 staffers and other fired for their jobs immediately.
So this kid actually shows up for school, right? And he’s on the track team. I’m so glad the school I work at doesn’t object to me coloring the grays. Not that I have any😉
All I know is these people are lucky I don’t have kids in school anymore! That was my kid I would be in jail
Clearly those school 'administrators' are Trump voters. Only Trumpers assault black kids.
That is gonna be one hell of a costly hair cut.
MY GOODNESS!!! These children were truly violated! These staffers have no business in a classroom!
For Fucks Sake - what is wrong with the adults here. How humiliating and disrespectful to this young man and his family. Are we really this ridiculous?
Looks good. Starting a new style trend
Oh hell naw!! I’m normally not a shit starter but I woulda been starting some shit that day if that was my son.
Ever notice this stuff always starts with someone not following the rules. Bad move on the schools part but imagine if people actually followed rules.
Oh no no no no no
An open letter to all parents and students. Never agree to any demeaning action. Nose against a wall, hair cutting, scalp coloring, duct taping. NOTHING. You have a right to dignity. Call your mom. Call your dad. Call your neighbor. Let someone know you are being abused.
Wtf This is not ok.
What a clear cut violation of this teen's civil rights. Reminds of the cutting off of the wrestler's dreadlocks in NJ.
Good job! You’ve made that family millionaires. I’m fvcking up everyone involved!
What the entire f*ck was the school thinking?!
It amazes me that people are so totally clueless today and so oblivious when it comes to how their actions could be perceived by others.
IT'S JUST A HAIRCUT, FER CHRISSAKES!!!
Anyone charged with assault yet ?
Is Pearland now the new the new Vidor?
Oh HELL NO! Gimme that marker and 10 minutes with that staff!!!
They need to be SUED. WHERE'S A REAL PRO BONO LAWYER?
FIRE ANY SCHOOL OFFICIAL INVOLVED OR ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN WITH PREJUDICE!!! Despicable pieces of Human Waste imitating members of the Education Faculty!!!!
I wouldn't shed a tear if that staff went missing, or ended up in the Rio.
I believe that is called “assault and battery”. My sons school doesn’t allow this either, but the principal sports a black bush on his chin.
SUE for assault! This is wrong. Period.
This is just plain WRONG🤬
My sons Catholic HS new principal telling the boys they’ll get detention for facial hair while sporting a big black bush on his chin; literally no concept of his own hypocrisy. But the kids get it. He’ll never have their respect. The haircut isn’t the problem. The “adults” are.
That sharpie is Toxic!!!
Is this not assault?
How the fuck is this ok!!
Sad!
What makes people so Stupid! Geeez!
This is an outrage! Fire the staffers and properly train the rest! This child was not violating the dress code
Wow!
As the parent I’d loose my mind if this was my kid.
BREAK OUT THE WALLET! The school district is toast! Where do these idiots come from and why are they working in schools?
When Jesus said, suffer the little children. He didn't mean make them suffer. He meant suffer for them because they are innocent.
Call and discuss the issue with a parent. Stupid people will do stupid things like using a sharpie on a child.
um...
Wow it’s nothing bad! Schools now a days smh
Well, if he truly wants to rebel, just shave his head and he’ll have the reverse.
I wonder if it is a gang reference? This would be something the school would know about.
Sharpies are not made for you skin! Now that’s first! Second, they had ZERO right to lay their hands on him. Omg, I’d literally show up with a jumbo sharpie and go to town!
Texas is so fucked up. Even the U.S. 5th circuit court of appeals, in N.O., has ridiculed and derided the legal decisions coming out of the Texas Court of criminal appeals. Racists rednecks that think 'white' makes you better than ANYONE else. No wonder I left.
Isn't this an old story
'Don't tell I can carry a gun, but I'll tell every person that they need to look like me'
Crackers strike again.
'Restrictions on fade haircuts were removed.' Ok, good. But what did they do for the kid they assaulted & his family? What did they do for him & his family to compensate for that trauma? Jfc...
unbelievable...
Arm every teacher with sharpies not guns
That’s just nasty and disrespectful. This is what they are teaching children now? Be ashamed and insulted? Smh 🤦🏾♀️ then someone going to comment some BS excuse ‼️
White people wonder why black people are always so angry! What this story doesn’t tell you is that a blond white boy had a cut out as well but larger and got in NO trouble!!
Isn’t that a personal asssult on the student? Gonna be a loonngg school year for those kids.
That's kind of hilarious.
heartstring1111 Ridiculous
More race baiting what a shocker. OperationMockingbird
Texas out to show Alabama that all things, including Racism, are biggest in Texas.
you are just trying to instill hate and prejudice by post this
I see a lawsuit coming. If anyone touched my child and did that I don't know if I could hold back .
It's OFFICIAL!!! America has gone CRAZY BONKERS!!
When are the staffers going to be suspended without pay and for how long? Not right!!
It was a bizarre way to avoid a dress code violation but it worked. I had to follow a student once to make sure he'd turn a T shirt inside out with busty warrior babes on it the teachers were ignoring in MS. I steered him to the bathroom and waited for him to complete the task.
Wrong. Suspension instead.
What the fuck is wrong with people?
Oh no. No no no no no.
Why am I not surprised that this happened in my hometown. Disgraceful.
Good thing they weren’t armed… can’t imagine the story if they had been...
