Zachary Sharples, 12-Year-Old Tampa Bay Rays Fan Gets Suspended From School For 'Rays-Hawk' Haircut

Seriously, Who Is Running Our Schools These Days?
10/10/08
Not to sound like a cynical old curmudgeon, but what is going on with our schools these days? Pretty soon, we're no longer going to have competitive sports. Everyone will get equal turns at the plate, equal touches on the football field and we'll just feel great about ourselves. And then in school, everyone will wear the exact same outfits, get the exact same grades and all will be dandy. The sissification of America continues today in Palmetto, Florida.
12-year-old Zachary Sharples is a passionate baseball fan and a proud supporter of his Tampa Bay Rays. To show his support, like many young kids, he wanted to mimmick the players on the Rays so he went and got a 'Rays-Hawk' haircut.
When Zachary showed up to school Monday at Lincoln Middle School he was given an in-school all day suspension because of his haircut. The ruling: "a distraction" according to principal Super Lame.
A mohawk is an unusual haircut, and it draws comments from the kids," she said. When students start commenting on it in class, "it's hard for teachers to calm them down."
As you can imagine, his parents were not too happy... with the school.
"My son is a diehard baseball fan. He's not a bad kid, he doesn't get into trouble," said Pennington, a magazine art director. "All you see in the news right now is about the Rays. . . . Now 500 to 1,000 people are walking around with mohawks. It's not offensive."
What a little Devil.
