SWAP Consensus:
This child's hair is in violation of the school rules, and these rules probably had an admirable goal of maintaining an acceptable standard of presentation, just as many schools implement dress codes. Indeed, the rules should be challenged, since it seems unlikely that this boy's hair is actually disrupting the education of his peers and since he is required to attend this school (unlike the military or a place of work). Unfortunately, his freethinking parents aren't suited to make the case. If this child had a religious or cultural reason to have long hair, he would have a better chance at overturning the extreme standards set by the school district. As it stands, it may be better for the child to understand that there will be rules that he doesn't understand that he will have to live with for now.
