Assistant Principal Uses Marker to Correct Latino Middle-Schoolers Haircut
An assistant principal at Coronado Middle School in Plainview, Texas, allegedly used a marker to color in a shaved part of Kobi Esquivels head last week. The assistant principal claimed his haircut violated the schools dress code and could be gang-related.
Kobis mother, Monica Esquivel, said her son had had the haircut for about five months, and school administrators did not contact her when the assistant principal decided to draw on his head. In confronting administrators, the Latina mother said she was told the haircut could be considered gang-related.
