School makes teen cut hair
A North Carolina teen has been ordered by his school to cut off the “controversial” design he has in his hair.
The celestial scene on Jay Cowell’s head, “[is] for God and all the stuff he made on the earth.” But Elizabeth City school officials didn’t agree. The 8th grader at River Road Middle School was ordered to change his hair because the star shape is also a gang symbol.
“It was a really nice design and they’re going to make me take it out of my head,” says Cowell.
He was back at the barber Tuesday morning because school administrators said the star is a gang symbol. Barber Rondell Parker designed it with a very different meaning in mind.
“His mom told me he’s an A/B student, so I thought of something that could be in the sky for him, reaching for the sky.”
