its their right, but I disagree, that is a grey area as each church and person has the right to have short or long hair. pauls day men didn't shave generally. the church until recently said long hair for ladies and short hair for men. where is that latter one in the bible?

 

[Mike S]

I don't know the circumstance, other than what's in the article. There's usually more to every story. I do know this, however, children need to be properly trained in how to prepare for coming into the presence of the Lord. Today's children can be entirely too casual about something that should inspire awe and humility.

at that rate she ought to go to school with a giant purple mohawk.

 

[TOG]

The headline says she was "kicked out", but the article says "Her grandparents have pulled her out of the private Timberlake Christian School in Lynchburg, Va." Which was it?

Here's a press release on the school's website (PDF). It tells quite a different story. (I would have copied and pasted it, as it's only one page, but for some reason, that didn't work.)

When i look at this picture it looked like a boy "Why" trying to make a statement like most youngsters?

so it might not have had anything to do with her hair.

 

[Joshua Breeze]

It's up to the girl of how she would like her hair.

Only God can judge.

Yes Jason those boys from Brazil certainly know how to make a statement.. this world is going to hell in a hand basket its not popular to be righteous now a days or any day for that matter.. how do you say "its not fashionable" to live Godly in Christ Jesus..

the torah says women shouldn't own property nor work. is that what we should go back too, slavery via indentured servitude isn't illegal nor unlawful in the torah. the idea of what is masculine isn't defined. paul would have longer hair then me. yet today that can be considered femalish. men in the medival period, hardly a time of feminism/effinism wore make up. if you doubt look it up. its a cultural thing. don't confuse culture with doctrine. that is all im saying. the bible has cultural issues that had to be dealt with. Corinthians 7 is such an example. men having LONG hair and women cutting theirs in rebellion. and yet paul says if a man wants short hair he can. that girls hair you dislike has longer hair then I do. I shave monthly. wwps(what would paul say)?

And why does the Torah say that how did it come to be that way.. i only know what my bible says

We are heart broken that Sunnie’s grandparents have made her the subject of a public discussion.
We regret that they made the decision to withdraw Sunnie immediately from Timberlake Christian Schools.
For confidentiality reasons related to a minor it is not possible for us to explain in full detail the volume of documentation we have concerning the situation that
the grandparents have made public. There is much more to this story than has been revealed related to Sunnie and the classroom environment
.
Our documentation shows a significantly different narrative than the one portrayed in the original news report.
You can be assured that we have cared for Sunnie and worked with her grandparents for several years to assist them. Our TCS teachers and administrators love Sunnie and we
can assure everyone that this has never been an issue of hair length or boots as it has been portrayed. It has been our constant desire over the last several years to work with this family
and to shepherd this precious little girl in a way consistent with traditional values.

As a private Christian school, we have the responsibility to all our students to assist parents to instill the Christian values upon which our school is founded.

We reiterate that the decision to remove Sunnie was entirely that of the grandparents.

the bible has the torah in it. what do you think are the books called genesis , exodus, Leviticus, numbers, deuteromony.? look in there. tell me what they actually defined as male and female attire. its not even said. so that puts it in what? oral law! am I to not shave? a command for men not to do! women aren't to have their head covered. and if praying a man must cover his head(the kippah). unless its fasting which is regulated for the nazarite. he cant shave at all.

women didn't own property then. they had no rights. they survivors of the massacre of the tribe of Benjamin said they would have to marry to keep their land. the ultra orthodox jewish women look like muslims!

Scottish men wearing those kilts has always bugged me.

O.k. that's the Old Testament the law, do you think Samson had long hair and never shaved.. isn't this a thread about a girl dressed up to look like a boy?

since you imply that she might be a lesbian. I have met the most beautiful feminine girl and she turned out to be a lesbian. my two step children if posted their pics side by side about ten years ago. you would assume monica is the lady and autumn is the tomboy. when its the reverse. autumn in those days shaved her head. dyed it pink. red , green, wore flat tops but was very much anything but a tomboy. she did have mannish tendencies but so do tomboys.

i implied no such thing Jason, i have dated some of the most beautiful women that were sodomites.. you just don't know sometimes same can be said of today's children its a choice thing.. full of pride and arrogance they wag there noses at Jesus and say who cares.. their parents don't care so why should they think God cares

tob

*edit: This is just aside: do you think Samson had long hair?

so if she is a tomboy and has short hair, what does it matter is she is a Christian. we don't know if the girl wanted to leave or was just bullied for being different, and got sick of it and asked to go to public schools. Christians never bully. nope.

*edit: This is just aside: do you think Samson had long hair?

yes very long. likely to his knees unless he top knotted it or braided it.
