The 14-year-old was told he needed to cut his hair to comply with the school dress code.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - A 14-year-old boy in South Dakota will transfer high schools at the end of the semester after he was given the ultimatum to cut his hair or find a new school.
“People enroll in our Catholic schools, then they know what we stand for, and they know what we are representing and the structure and environment that we will create for their family,” said Kyle Groos, president of Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools. During his time at O’Gorman Junior High School, Braxton said he hadn’t received any complaints about his hair from staff. That changed after he transitioned to high school.
“Since he’s practiced and had a game, he would not be able to transfer into another school and continue with the activity,” she said.
