So says the teenager. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but we haven't heard from the teacher yet. I want to hear the other side to get the whole picture.

Re: Teacher cuts girls hair without permission

There must be more witnesses than one. This is Biblical justice. People are quick to antagonize Mrs. Sorenson. But look at her history. She has earned a teacher of the year award. This girl who makes this claim is just one witness. Why does her mother have short streaked blond hair? Why is she suing the school system and Mrs. Sorenson for money? I'm skeptical and I think the media is being far
too biased as they tend to. Why sensationalize this? We as Christians should seek justice and not automatically jump to assumptions.

Re: Teacher cuts girls hair without permission

"Members of the Pentecostal community applauded Aldine's swift action.

Ken Gurley, senior pastor of First Church at Pearland, said some Pentecostals believe a woman's long hair is given to her instead of a veil and is her covering before God.

"Pentecostals have held to that, and they believe it's one of the signifying qualities of femininity," he said."

Re: Teacher cuts girls hair without permission

It is not a teacher's place or any other person's place other than a parent or with parental permission to cut a child's hair - boy or girl -- Religious issue or not. Being in the authoritative position of a teacher certainly doesn't go into that realm.

True but the fact that the teacher knew in advance this was a religious conviction makes it a much more serious crime.
