Is there a definition of what's "legal" and what's "illegal" in terms of hairstyle?

Nice haircut actually.
I personally just wore a messy Hagrid-like heap of hair being 14-15, some teachers didn't like it, but I didn't care. They did take offense, though.
Who gives any kind of shits what a students hair looks like?
Why do these draconian dress codes still exist?
Sexism and racism.
Let's hope that the rest of the school takes on the same hair dress, just for support.
violated the district’s dress code
hair fell below his eyebrows and ear lobes
I'm sorry, but WTF? Are they mandating everyone dress like skinheads or what?
I assume just the boys. Girls can probably have longer hair... as long as it's not in a "harlotous style" or some nonsense like that.

Usually schools will have an uniform but this was just his hair and most likely a more stereotypical white or Asian style probably wouldn't have this issue.
To conservatives, a real American is a white person with white eyes and blond hair. Anyone else is inferior.
This is why I hate the term "African-American". We don't call white people "European-Americans" while we call black people "African-Americans" as if they're not American enough.
It's sad.
