I am an 18-year-old senior at Oak Ridge High School. I have a question dealing with the school at Oak Ridge. I have a Mohawk haircut cut close on the sides and about 2 inches long on the top. I wear it spiked on the top. The principal of the school instructed me today to put my Mohawk down because it was a distraction. He did not require that I cut my Mohawk, only that I could not wear it spiked. A majority of the people, including several teachers, thought it was pretty cool. Is wearing a spiked Mohawk to school considered a disruption? In my opinion, denying a person to have a spiked Mohawk is a sign of discrimination.
