    Was this the kid in Katy or another one?

    It wild imagining them being so draconian about boys hair falling passed their ears or whatever when my rural school in BFE, TX let me have hair down to the small of my back. (Even outside the racism element/wouldn’t surprise me if that’s precisely why it became an issue in the first place)
