The declaration of the student rights not to shave
When in a coarse of school events it becomes necessary for one student body to point out the injustices against the students of New Caney, and to assume among them the natural rights denied to them by an over powerful Board of Trustees which imposes an unfair, unjust, and oppressive dress code that forces students to shave against their will, causing great pain among many from razor burn and cuts leaving blood on the hands of the school board.
We liked to assume that certain truths still remained self-evident, that everyone was still equal, endowed with certain rights, being our life, our liberty, and our pursuit of happiness. We used to believe that to protect these rights, a government would be created by the people, obtaining their powers from the consent of the governed, and when becoming destructive of basic students rights, it is the right and obligation of students to right the wrongs thrust upon them.
In 1787, as Benjamin Franklin was walking out of the Constitutional Convention a lady came to him and asked “ What have you given us?” and he replied “A Republic Ma'am, if you can keep it.” Today Franklin’s statement is being tested. If we our to truly keep our Republic, if we our to let the peoples voice be heard, if we are to say to the world “Yes, here the elected officials listen to the people “ and if we are to truly keep our liberty then repeal the prohibition against facial hair, return the choice to the students, and finally remove the blade of tyranny from our necks to let liberty reign.

I'm quite certain that at the very least you will have the gov't teachers on your side. Sadly to offer an opinion on the subject I would like to know what the circumstances are, what caused the school board to make this decision? They may very well have a good reason, and before I commit to an opinion I would like more information.

OUr school hand book says "Every student must shave to establish good grooming habits" how can one groom what isint their? im in ROTC so I would have to shave anyways but I still feel this is a choice the students should have.

While then yes I do feel that you have a valid point, I especially respect that you are fighting for this from a position in which you have nothing to gain from it.

James628 I got a ton of students to sign it, however unfortunatly the gov teachers didint care enough to to sign. that suprises and disappoints me, it seems as teachers of government they should be much more keen on student involvement on issues, at my high school we all picked a topic and debated it out in groups in front of the entire junior class while representatives from the administration sat in. Now we did not cover issues within the school but the point is just the same and I sincerely wish the gov't teachers at your school took more of a pro students rights stance.

That truely is disturbing. Schools have absolutly no right to dictate to students how they appear, so long as they follow basic common sense. I knew a guy who had long hair all throughout high school, and he never had any problems. Now if someone didn't shower, showed up in clothes full of holes, and never washed their hands, that would be one thing. But having a beard or long hair shouldn't be up to the school to decide.

I kinda disagree since I think private schools should get that right. But only if they refuse any government funding.

Just because no other school cares doesn't mean it's not a county rul.

Then go to the county to ask to over turn the school's decision.
