"7th grader Derek Jackson says he is back in his normal classes today following his placement in in-school-suspension for having a haircut that was too short; something the school says was both a violation of the school dress-code and a distraction."
"Leaders of Austin's NAACP are convinced the suspension of Derek Jackson is racially motivated. Nelson Linder with the NAACP says there's no other reason he can think of why a 7th grader would get in-school suspension for having hair that's too short."
Suspending a student for having hair that's too short. Stupid.
Getting the NAACP involved over the issue. Stupider.
Not being able to think of any reason for the controversy other than race. Stupidest.
Jackson's mother, Amanda, tells KLBJ that her son was given in-school suspension for violating a portion of the district's dress code prohibiting hair styles that are "disruptive". She says her son has had other run-ins with the school's principal.
Gee, you think that last line could have some relevance?

Somehow this is about Negro hair. The same cut if were a Marine, so just what would there be disturbing about it. Negroes are just to damned sensitive, is that it.
