No, an 8-year Old Girl was Not Kicked Out of School for Having Short Hair

Headlines like School says 8-year-old student not feminine enough and Christian school principal says 8-year-old girl not welcome because she dresses and behaves like a boy are all the rage today, but there's more to the story. However, we might not ever hear all of it.

Hopefully, rather than get up in arms about this, all of you went to the school's website to look for a press release. Timberlake Christian Schools did issue a release, and it says that the news stories have got it all wrong. The school did not kick 8-year old Sunnie Kahle out - her grandparents made the decision to remove her. Furthermore, the issue had nothing to do with the length of her hair or the clothes she wore.

So, what is the problem? The school can't tell us because Sunnie Kahle is a minor. The truth may turn out to be something just as horrid as these headlines or it may be nothing, but until we have the facts let's stop taking up arms. For now, be sure to ignore the media's hate-mongering clickbait; they're just trying to stir you up so they can get more viewers.

The grandparents posted a letter from the principal. If it is accurate it says what the grandparents are concerned about.

Never mind. I saw the press release from the school through their legal counsel. Never believe the media.
