Barbers Hill Independent School District has a problem with someone's hair.



Yes, of course, being an American requires conformity.

Welcome to America, where the fragile are so frail that long hairs (remarkable its still a thing) will destroy everything and must be punished to keep the devil at bay out and conformity is a must to keeo the commies away.

I'll take the devil and the commies over the nuts running that school district.

The commies vvill ration us out food, and the devil vvill help prepare it properly.

Novv that's something I'd sign LeeAnder up for.

Sounds like it would be more fun than the Physics Club.

Yup. It's been my experience that those who care about a guy who has lokg hair aren't good people. And as his hair didn't seem that long, they not just bad people but racist and going for whatever they can see.

Yes, the devil is alive and well, out to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids. We used to laugh and make fun of caricatures like Major Burns or General Ripper or Col. Flagg. But now, people say things like this with a straight face and really mean it.

I remember when the length of a man's hair was considered a huge deal back in the day. But then it became more normalized and accepted. Nobody really seemed to care that much about long hair or however people styled it. In some ways, it might have been freer back when I was in school.

I do believe them when they say they want conformity. They want everyone to conform to a certain way of living. He compared it to the dress codes of the service academies, as if to gear up the student body for military service. Everyone must look alike and dress alike and act alike.

The irony is that the right always accuses the left of taking over the schools to indoctrinate the students, but this guy says everyone must conform to a more right-wing way of thinking. Who's indoctrinating whom?

I have Dupuytren's contracture in my right middle finger.
Tissue under the skin is contracting, causing it to curl up.
I'll see a hand surgeon about fixing it.
A guy needs his middle finger.

So your goal in life is to be a doopy trendy contractor that gives teh finger to doopy trendy contractors..... sounds like you could get stuck in front of a mirror for weeks

I avoid mirrors.
The guy in them is offensive.

It usually means the little button thing is stuck.

That sounds like something a roman catholic would say about refrigerator buttons, because they don't believe in refrigerator gnomes.

I assure you, I am not a Roman Catholic, and I do believe in refrigerator gnomes.

Its just that in my fridge they're so busy spoiling things they have no time to play with the lights.

They didn't get that memo in Indiana. I was wrote up more than once for my hair being too long (and not out as trans).

Sorry! I didn't mean to put you on the defensive or to lump you in with atheists and catholics.

Anyways I don't understand what is going to happen with all these smart devices with their tiny digital souls, especially if people don't want to connect them to their home networks.
