‘Outdated, punishing rules’ – Mom fights for son, 8, to keep his long hair despite schools rejecting him

Farouk, a child model with a stunning head of hair, has faced numerous school rejections due to his hair length. His mother, Bonnie Miller, noted that “forcing children to cut their hair is against their human rights.”
