Native American boy pulled from class over Mohawk haircut
By Lindsey Bever September 19
Jakobe Sanden walked into his second-grade classroom with his backpack and a brand new Mohawk — a hairstyle, his father says, that represents Jakobe’s Native American roots. But it’s a symbol his school called a distraction — one that got him pulled from class.
Earlier this week, 7-year-old Jakobe was sent to the principal’s office at Arrowhead Elementary School in Santa Clara, Utah. His father, Gary Sanden, said administrators told him the hairstyle violated school policy. School officials called his parents and asked them to get it cut.

Personally I woulda let the haircut go, but banned that godawful shirt!
Another funny line from the article. . .
Only if you think Indians are the only ones who ever produced arrowheads. The French at Agincourt could probably clue you up on that score.

“It’s ironic the school is named Arrowhead,” Gary Sanden said.
