Massachusetts Supreme Court concludes that the principal of Attleboro High School in Massachusetts, USA, was right to ban student George Leonard from attending school because of the length of his hair. The Court decrees, "We are of the opinion that the unusual hair style of the plaintiff could disrupt and impede the maintenance of a proper classroom atmosphere or decorum. This is an aspect of personal appearance and hence akin to matters of dress. Thus as with any unusual, immodest or exaggerated mode of dress, conspicuous departures from accepted customs in the matter of haircuts could result in the distraction of other pupils." Leonard will not go back to high school, but will continue as a professional musician with his band The Cry Babies.
