What would have happened if the boy had just said that he *liked* wearing 
his hair long, and would be really offended if he had to cut it or wear it 
hidden away?  Once the magic R word is brought in though, suddenly entire 
organisations are forced to change by law-makers scared of making decisions 
against religion.

Anyway, has the school dropped the rule now, or will lots of other kids 
suddenly be joining his religion too?

Oh well, maybe someone will turn up at the school next week, claiming that 
his religion states his chest must be visible at all times.  Would certainly 
have made hot summer days more comfortable at my school :-)
