8-Year-Old’s Mother Considers Enrolling Him As Non-Binary So School Won’t Cut His Long Curls

Bonnie is fighting back against the choices of the school by starting a campaign to support long-haired boys. The 41-year-old mother told The Independent that she thinks that the school is acting in “prejudice” and “under the umbrella of sexism” insisting that boys keep their hair short.

Bonnie knows she’s not the only mother that’s upset by these rules. Since starting her campaign, she’s been contacted by other mothers who say that their sons have been traumatized when they were forced to cut their hair to continue in school.

Secondary school is already stressful enough for boys and forcing them to embrace a new hair cut is only going to make it worse. Bonnie Green believes:

“In a just world, people should be judged on the content of their character and NOT on their appearance,” according to The Mirror.

Despite Bonnie’s hard work, schools are remaining strict with their policies. In an attempt to find loopholes, she told The Mirror, that she is considering enrolling her son as “non-binary” in an effort to keep him from being forced to cut his long locks.

Bonnie has been trying to prepare her son for years that his hair would eventually need to be cut, but she told The Mirror, Farouk says he won’t go to school if they make him cut his hair and that it would make him have a mental breakdown.

What do you think of this situation? Should boys be forced to lie about their gender in an effort to keep their hair? Let us hear your thoughts in the comments and then invite your friends to weigh in as well.
