Graduation season is upon us, and while it’s a time for celebration and excitement, it can also bring out some unexpected conflicts. One dad found himself in a hairy situation when his son’s homeroom teacher demanded that the 17-year-old get a haircut just a week before graduation. The school’s dress code states that boys can’t have hair at or below their shoulders, and Adrian’s hair was just above his shoulders. But the teacher insisted that Adrian’s hair length and style were against the spirit of the rules and that all students should look mature and put together for the ceremony. The situation escalated when the dad and his wife disagreed on how to handle the situation. ✂️
