'And when prompted, my grandson must say he's a girl,' says Randi Woodley, who is raising 4-year-old Michael, also know as 'Tink.'
A Texas grandmother is fighting against the local school board after the superintendent told her grandson he had to cut his long hair or wear a dress if he wanted to stay in school.
Randi Woodley's 4-year-old grandson, Michael—who's also known as"Tink"—was told by a Tatum Elementary School teacher that his hair violated the school's dress code, which mandates,"no ponytails, ducktails, rat-tails, male buns, or puffballs are allowed on male students."Woodley, who has been Tink's custodian since he was 8 months old, was called into the principal's office in August 2018 and told"that my grandson's hair was too long.
She has continued to oppose the district's regulation—which she claims discriminates against children of color. And she's not alone: At a school board meeting about the situation Monday night, some parents held signs reading "Is my hair distracting you?" and"I stand with Tink." "I will be here at every board meeting," Woodley said at the gathering."I will fight to get all of the rules changed."
