Boy, 4, barred from pre-K for long locks

He was growing it to donate to children having cancer treatment-

Renee Szablewski is a good, churchgoing Catholic. She wants her 4-year-old son, Jack, to grow up to be one, too.

That’s why Szablewski was so upset last month with St. Dominic, a parochial school in Brick, N.J. The principal at the school barred Jack from his pre-kindergarten class because his hair was too long.

“That’s Christian? That’s Catholic?” Szablewski fumed during a telephone interview with TODAYshow.com Monday.

Jack’s early lesson in how tough life can be actually began when at the tender age of 16 months, his grandfather died of lung cancer. Renee Szablewski decided to honor her father by letting her son’s hair grow out so that he could donate his locks to be used in wigs for children who lose their own hair to cancer radiation treatment.

He's adorable!

Yeah, everybody has a cute kid that they feel should be exempt from the guidelines of PRIVATE schools with rules and guidelines, and then to act like the school is not being Christian. What next, sue the school to change their rules just for her cute kid? It's a private school with rules for EVERYONE who goes there, regardless of their benevolence. If Szablewski wants to grow her kid's hair and donate it to a cancer patient, then do it in the public school where anything goes. She also has the option to home school her child and bypass the mainstream style of education, and she can dress him in animal skins as well. This is just grandstanding by a mother who wants it all her way, or she's going to have her little tantrum and ask for the school to be leveled and all the teachers and administrators lined up and beat with sticks and rocks in the public square. She needs a good smack upside the head.
