Picture this: A four-year-old boy is isolated in a library during the two and half hours he is supposed to be in pre-school, and is on the verge of being kicked out completely.

And just what did this four-year-old do to face expulsion? It's about his hair, according to articles in the Dallas Morning News.

Taylor Pugh is in Big Trouble for making an end run around the dress code rules at Floyd Elementary School in Mesquite Texas, the kind of place where students "can't go to class out of dress code,'' according to the associate superintendent. It's also the kind of school district that sent a 19-year-old boy home back in the seventies because his hair touched his collar, and told a boy wearing skinny jeans he had to change or go home.

EarlyStories likes to remain neutral and balanced, but can't help in this case wondering why the length of a four-year-old boys hair -- and in this case the boy is of Native American heritage and has a legitimate cultural reason for keeping his hair long -- should prevent him from getting a pre-school education.

Where is the outrage? Free Taylor Pugh!
