Free Taylor
Free Taylor
The Issue
Four year old Taylor Pugh has long hair. But the Texas Mesquite Independent School District will not allow him to associate with the other children because of his long hair. They claim it violates their dress code. Yet there is nothing in the code about hair length.
The district suspended him from school and threatened expulsion if he would not comply, until there was press attention, which lead them to reduce the four year old's sentence to segregation from the other kids.
Send a letter directly to Laura Jobe, Administrator, at the Mesquite independent School District and let her know that this is unconstitutional in a free society. Schools exist to serve the people not the other way around. Four year olds are very impressionable and such segregation could be damaging to this childs future.
