Why this petition matters

Started by Waugh Family

The school district is suspending male students for having hair that is deemed too long or in a pony tail or a bun. The Hypocrisy runs deep with the district. On their website they have a page regarding TITLE IX which states:

Title IX

The Magnolia Independent School District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or handicap in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities.

And on another page you read this Grooming Policy:

Grooming:

Hair Will:

* Be no longer than the bottom of a dress shirt collar, bottom of the ear, and out of the eyes for MALE students

*Not be pinned up in any fashion nor be worn in a ponytail or bun for MALE students

There are more TITLE IX violations, as apparently this Dress Code policy has never been rewritten or reviewed in decades. 

The Principals and teachers have been calling out the Dress Code violations in front of other students, which has allowed a culture of shaming and bullying to take place district wide. The kids feel they can make fun of and ridicule the students who look different from them. And why not, the principal and the teachers are doing it.
