So what, why should Ensworth, a school that was founded in 2002, copy every social and cultural norm adopted by its white flight independent school peers. Hats off to Ensworth. I have a friend who plays football for Stanford and his hair is very long. He is an engineering major with an impressive gpa. I'm not sure why length of hair, or even an earring for that matter should be so controversial in 2010. Neither one, in my mind, are indicators of anything evil or immoral. Guys, surely you don't think that anyone who wears an earring or chooses to wear longer hair has to a bad citizen or is untrustworthy. Some of the finest and most creative citizens in this country have longer hair. These include scholars, entertainers, and poets, to name but a few. And guess what...if you choose to look carefully in the SEC, ACC, Big Ten, and NFL you will see a diverse range of hair styles. Come out of the cave! The world is so much larger than a handful of white flight enclaves. I am really astonished that this is our discussion.....
