Ohio student punished for growing his hair for charity, school says it violates dress code | Fox News: "He's been growing out his hair for Locks of Love, which uses donated hair to make hairpieces for kids who have lost their own due to disease.
Aufderheide had told the school of his intentions, but on Monday was told he would be suspended. His hair is only an inch away from the 10 inches needed to donate to the charity.
Canton Local School Board President John Martin tells WJW-TV (http://bit.ly/P2g1Ch) that while he respects the student's efforts, rules are rules."
They can't see the forest for the trees!
