Young Girl Leaves School After She's Chastised for Dressing Like a Boy
LatestAn eight-year-old girl’s grandparents removed her from her Christian elementary school in Virginia after administrators said her hair was too short and her clothes too boyish, explaining that her overall appearance was not in keeping with the school’s “biblical standards.”
WSET in Virginia reports that Sunnie Kahle and her grandparents got a letter from the school saying that if Sunnie didn’t change her style of dress, she wouldn’t be allowed to return to school next year.
