Haircut Suspension

An eighth-grade boy earned a suspension from school after showing up for class with a new haircut. Dustin Reader, from Hamilton, Ohio, is a huge Cincinnati Bengals fan. In honor of the Bengals’ 6-2 start to this NFL season, Reader shaved his head to look like a Bengals’ helmet. He also added a giant “B” in the back.

When defending the suspension, the school pointed to its code of conduct, which prohibits extreme and distracting hairstyles.
