The Needville Independent School District said 5-year-old Adriel Arocha's long locks violate school rules. Adriel's parents say long hair is a sacred tradition in their Native American culture.
Kenny Arocha, Adriel's father, said long hair is a religious symbol for the Apache tribe that should only be cut at the time of a life-changing event.
It's great to see Americans are finding reasons to keep children from attending school.
