Mike Barker, a junior at West Iron County High School in Iron River, Mich., told FoxNews.com he was told his new hair style did not meet the school’s grooming and appearance policy, and was told by his coach and then the school principal that he could not compete in his team’s meet on Thursday.

Uhh... what? His HAIR STYLE didn't meet the school's "grooming and appearance policy"??

Because of the mohawk? or because of it being pink? Either way, I truly don't understand...


Yeah this is pretty infuriating. I suspect it's the combination. It's unclear to me weather either aspect of the haircut on its own would have led to the punishment.
