Texas And Student Hair

it shocks me every time I see pro football players with hair hanging out under their helmets. Seems like it could be a safety issue.
If I was a football player I’d have a breakaway ponytail.
I don't understand why anyone wants long hair, unless you're a female and have been taught that it's attractive to men.
It gets in the way and is a pain to take care of, so I don't see the point myself.

I get bored with short hair ( mine). Longer hair gives more options.
 
(BTW, I owned a child care center and summer camp - became an expert in lice and lice eradication!!)
Ew.
I like children well enough, provided I can hand them back if they smell bad or misbehave.

Technically that's what some parents use daycare centers for. :)
 
Good thing we have the FREEDOM state to tell us what to wear how to wear it when to wear it how to do our hair how long to grow our hair when to shave what to eat and drink what not to when to use the phone what dialect to speak what toys a kid can play with when to go to sunday school what pronouns to use what religions count as religions what degrees are okay whether to go to college what jobs are appropriate what degrees can stay what parts of history to teach which to hide what social theories to teach what economic theories to teach what scientific theories to teach when you're sick enough to need care when you're allowed to retire when its okay to save grandma's life and when to let her die for the sake of the economy whether we should go to war to defend our ego or claim a resource useful to a few industries whether a piece of land is worth protecting whether a species is worth saving whether a culture is worth protecting and how to spell "color" correctly.

"Regulations governing student hair is rooted in health concerns, specifically that dreadlocks are more susceptible to lice infestations!!"

Lice doesn't care about the type of hair. If the real concern is preventing lice infestations, a policy enforcing baldness for all students would be scientifically sported.
You're absolutely correct. Lice doesn't care, and dreadlocks are absolutely NOT more susceptible. Unfortunately, getting RID of lice is hard with locs. I had friends that had to cut them off due to lice.
Which is probably why locs are associated with lice--people are less likely to actually get rid of them so someone with locs is more likely to have them even if they are no more likely to be infected.

And, unfortunately, we have the FREEDOM to not use punctuation if we don't want to. Doesn't mean its a good idea, though.

Oy, do I have a god awful headache now after reading that...🙁

The Cormac McCarthy school of writing.

Sorry. Just because you are hip and don't use punctuation doesn't mean you deserve a Pulitzer.

Maybe you should go take a pretend aspirin to help with your pretend headache. Do you need a fainting couch? Maybe some salts?

The lack of punctuation headache is no laughing matter.

Some patients have even been known to lapse into a comma.
 
It's better than this.

Uh, so it's like, um, mega cool and stuff that we got this, erm, FREEDOM state thingy, ya know? Like, they totally tell us all the things, like, about wearing stuff and, erm, hair thingies. And, like, they totally got our backs on, uhh, food or whatever and, oh, the phone thing too! They're like, super smart about, um, languages and toys and like, umm, that Sunday school thing? Oh and like, they, uh, sorta help us with choosing religion-y things and degree stuffies or something.

Then they're all like, umm, super helpful in, like, picking jobs and, uhh, teach us some history stuff, but like, not all the history stuff, ya know? And like, they got these, uh, theory things down too, I guess? And like, they're super duper at, erm, deciding when we gotta, like, do the doctor thingy and the old people stuff. And, like, they kinda have this thing for deciding, like, war stuff and, um, nature stuff and, oh, culture stuff too, and, umm, they're, like, mega good at, like, spelling 'color' and stuff. Yeah, so, like, yay FREEDOM state or whatever!

Sometimes perfect punctuation doesn't matter.
 
Making "other" students (the polite term) conform to white xian standards isn't indoctrination, though. That's just the way it is. (TM)
Let’s face it: If Jesus we’re walking the earth now, so called Christians would advocate for maximum charges against him and the death penalty.
Who wouldn't? It'd be suicide not to. The question is which method to use. Why is the dude still walking the earth now? We need to know if we're talking double-tap walking dead or stake-through-the-heart walking dead...

Not only can you count on the Freedom state, but also the Freedom caucus, and Moms 4 Liberty to all stand up for this kid.

Which is probably why locs are associated with lice--people are less likely to actually get rid of them so someone with locs is more likely to have them even if they are no more likely to be infected.

Hard to get out =/= leaving the lice in. Thus the whole "cut them off" that was mentioned. When you consider it, individuals with gorgeous locs potentially have much more at stake compared to those with fine strands when it comes to protecting their hair from lice. The process of eliminating lice might sometimes involve cutting the hair, which is a significant loss. This heightened risk is likely why every woman in my family adheres to a meticulous hair hygiene regimen, regardless of whether or not they have locs.

IMO they are less likely to take Lice lightly than their fine strand counterparts. :rolleyes:
 
Whoever it is who gets lice
They always agree it’s not nice
They live in your hair
On your head and down there
They drink blood and don’t even think twice

Hip, hip, hooray for Freedumb. If the crypto-fascist anti-Christian Biden-lickers had their way, Dr. Seuss would be pushed out of libraries to make room for pornography by Shakespeare, Chaucer and Dickens; lesbos and queers would be roaming around using bathrooms; and students would be forced to read books by "scholars" instead of by righteous patriotic Americans. Women would be out and about wearing pants and letting Black bucks ogle their delicious bosoms. Covid deaths would be limited to a half-million American souls instead of the million souls the Good Lord and the Baby Jesus intended; and so on. The horror! The horror!
