Regardless of the reason why she had long hair, or even if she didn't, for someone to alter someone physically without permission is assault.
My daughter, while she has long hair and it's uncut at the moment, she doesn't want it cut. I don't think it's a sin or anything else, but if someone were to cut her hair against her wishes, they'd be paying.

True but the fact that the teacher knew in advance this was a religious conviction makes it a much more serious crime.
i agree, obviously the girl received a fair amount of attention from her class mates and teachers for the fact that her hair was long, my wifes hair is really long, she gets comments and stares all the time at work, lol,dt

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.
"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."
"Regardless of the reason why she had long hair, or even if she didn't, for someone to alter someone physically without permission is assault."
We don't know if there was permission involved or not. We've only heard one side of the
story. There was absolutely no physical harm done to the girl. Just like Samson hair grows back. However, a teacher has lost her livelihood, and her name. She has an exemplary history.
"He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him." Proverbs 18:17

Think about this, and prayerfully consider.
There is no other side of the story ... as a teacher you must know your limits in what you can and cannot do ... as it applies to your contact w/ a student
