["Pupils and parents are made aware
of the rules on appearance and uniform
before they start attending the school,
know that they apply to everyone and
are regularly reminded of this."
Last week, Mr Bowers told the
Lancashire Telegraph that the
decision to place the boys in
isolation had not been taken lightly. ]

Sign Of The Times

I heard about this the other day and I couldn't believe it, it's one thing to dictate what a student can and cannot wear, but to decide what they can and cannot do with their own ****ing face? How ridiculous.

I clicked the link and this was the advert :joker:

Its their Right
Jack

Can 14 year olds grow beards?

It's also the right of any human being above the age of like what...three? To decide what they want to do with their own ****ing face. If they'd come in with a cock carved into their stubble then they might have a point but otherwise I'm afraid this is far too authoritarian for my liking

It's always school rules that students are clean shaven, it's not discrimination jesus had a beard... nobody wants to look like him! :laugh:

And it's not a rule I happen to agree with. Dictating what students wear is one thing, telling them how their face must look is another.

It appears Muslims 14 year old lads
can when they want to follow their Prophet.



Of Course
its not listed on that Schools Rules



calling Insp Vicky
to sort this

why would you go to a Roman Catholic school if you're a Muslim anyway um

Its the only School
in their Zone.

Has Anyone got that?

Yes Valid


But they have no Jesus


They have a Prophet
although

"Headteacher Xavier Bowers has
stressed that the matter is not
one of religion but about dress code. "


I hope this does not go to Euro Courts

I have no intention of growing a beard

Very Good


Clean Shaven get the Girls

thanks for the advice http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/cust...atar3266_3.gif

agree

Muslims and Christians both have prophets with beards was my point.

So 14 year old boys want to grow beards to look like their prophet ? Now I've heard everything.

First of all 14 year old boys cannot grow proper beards at best they would look ridiculous , also the school rules ask for clean shaven boys to avoid unsightly "bum fluff"

If they want to grow beards that much then I suggest they move to Afghanistan where there desires to have beards would probably be upheld...!!!

What and their Hard Working Parents

It's not to look like their prophet, it's because the prophet advised it. Some 14yr olds are more than capable of growing beards. I wasn't - I was only capable of growing a patchy, council estate beard at that age.

It doesn't really matter what their reason - they are not turning up to school in gang colours, with weapons, or any other thing that would be reasonable to object to, but growing a beard for religious reasons should be fine.

Also, if a male of any religion wants to grow a beard and still attend school, it should never be allowed for the school to dictate that they can't. It's a school - a supposed establishment for learning, not a fashion house.

I don't understand why schools have rules on body hair, I really don't.

This is as ridiculous as the guy who got excluded for shaving his head.

I can sort of understand why they have rules about having brightly dyed hair and that, but even then I really dont see why a hairstyle has any affect on your learning.

I guess it's down to uniformity, they want all students to look alike as much as possible?
It was advised by their prophet as a sign of maturity and wisdom, just because you can grow a beard doesn't mean you should or you are in any way mature or wise.

I honestly expect to see a school next month kicking off because one of their pupils hasnt shaved their armpits or legs tbh. Thats how stupid its getting.

It's not a new thing, and maybe it just comes down to them being easily identifiable?
