The boy with long hair

A boy named Lucan Batten at the age of 16 has gone to court because he refused to cut his hair, his school St John's College Hastings expelled him for ignoring there orders. They have a very strict rule that the hair of the boys can't touch the collar or cover the eyes, Lucan offed to tie it back into a ponytail but they still did not except the offer. The family went to wellington district court to stand up for there sone and they did, they one the battle but they were disappointed that they had to take it too high court and charge the school for so much money over a little matter. He started to get back to school the next week and was able too keep his hair style.
