Mohawks, baggy pants, what is my state coming to? Influence of the liberal democrat illegal gangs?

Doesn't this school have better things to do?
When I was in middle and high school, MOST boys wore 'rows and braids..
Me? Just to be different, I shaved MY head, like 'Pac...

No, Revere's engraving forgets one important fact...namely that Attucks was Black. That painting on my page was by John Singleton Copley and his brother-in-law Henry Pelham. It was done just two weeks after Revere's more well-known engraving.
There's another famous engraving that was done by W. C. Nell in 1855. Nell gets it right, too.

My children wouldn't wear mohawks without their dad beating the crap out of them. I seriously question the judgement of the parents.
That said, this sounds like more of public screwls forcing their way in to be surrogate parents.

That pic is misleading, first look through I thought that's what the kid's hair looked like. It's not even close to that, and you picture doesn't do anything to provide for a fair discussion.

Very small schools have always had stricter dress codes than the larger ones. Having lived in West Texas and volunteered in a few schools, I can say a mohawk on an elementary age child would be a huge distraction. And that age does not need any added distraction.

In some fairness to Revere, engraving black features was hard and perhaps beyond his skill.
I've collected some wood cuts and unless the engraver was very skilled a black person looked like a blob (no facial features) or a had grotesque exagerated features.
That said, Revere was a great silversmith and a freemason, and he should have done/known better, or at least tried.

Who? Makaveli tha Don, the Black James Dean?
Actually, he did have a powerful talent. There's no denying his bravura performances in "Juice", "Above The Rim", and "Poetic Justice" are magnetic. His virtuoso lyrics and smooth baritone told tales of violence in the ghetto that were unstintingly honest.
He is also a supreme object lesson to the many young Black males who emulate(d) him....
Those who LIVE by the gun DIE by the gun....i.e. Don't let this happen to you.
And yes, it was such a waste.

I think the school caused more of a disturbance by their actions.
Of course, when I was in jr high, and a girlfriend and I dyed our hair hotpink and cut arm holes in hefty bags and wore those as shirts, they sent us home also.
If the school had left him alone, the classmates would have been over this in oh, a day or so.
