An angry dad claimed his 12-year-old son was the victim of discrimination over his 'extreme' haircut. The boy was placed in isolation at school after returning from the Easter holidays sporting the unacceptable style.
James Cullen does not believe his son, Jacob, would have been treated the same way by teachers at St Andrew's Catholic School, in Leatherhead, Surrey, if he was a girl. Jacob returned to school after Easter with his new trim, which included blond highlights and some of his hair shaved down to grade one.
The school contacted Mr Cullen stating the cut was unacceptable and that Jacob was being placed in isolation away from other students. The pupil remained separated from his classmates during free periods and breaks for the rest of the week, SurreyLive reports.
