It is a rite of passage for teenage boys - the often ridiculed appearance of a first moustache. But when Akaash Iqbal, 14, came into school with a slightly hairy upper lip it turned out to be no laughing matter.
He was sent home and told not to return unless he shaves it off. But he and his family say the school is overreacting over a 'bit of fluff' and refuse to remove it.
Akaash has now missed nearly two weeks of schooling and last night his parents accused the school of jeopardising his education.

Boy, 14, banned from school for having moustache... but his father says he's too young to shave

A teenager has been banned from attending classes after his school said his moustache breached its strict uniform code.

Too young or not, the mustache (and perhaps the uno-brow) needs to be shaved, for fashions-sake.

whats the problem? how is this news, all the kid is doing is being an ignorant punk
 
A bit hard to support his position, since I started shaving when I was 14 :thdown:
 
all he did to get out of school was to grow a moustache? dang you guys have it easy...If i didn't want to go to school i'd have to get a case of SARS or something equaly deadly. And no they still make me go to school even if i have a fever. :rolleyes:
 
Soon to turn 17, I've had a moustache (Well, the same fuzz he has that they call a moustache) since I was 13 and a beard since 15, have yet to shave them completely off... My school doesn't care. The school this guy goes to needs to learn some tolerance, damn. Their dress code fails...
 
Seriously? Whoop de fucking do? Let the kid have a damned mohawk for fucks sake. A ban of education for a moustache? What the hell is wrong with the shcool this kid goes to?

Education is the most important thing that humans have to offer and unless he disturbs class, he shouldn't be banned.
 
Damn straight he shouldn't be banned. I think his excuse of not shaving because he's too young is a little thin, but I have gone into school some days with a 'tache that would give Stalin a run for his money :p
It's like any school that tells pupils how they should look (apart from school uniform); it's blown out of all proportion and it's not the school's decision to make as to whether or not someone is allowed to have a full ZZ Top beard.
And what this kid has barely even qualifies as a proper mustache!
 
As stupid as the school is, the kids no better.
Sacrificing his future/education for the sake of a fucking moustache?

Genius. :rolleyes:
 
I was an unruly looking sumbitch. I started growing a "mustache" at 13ish and didn't start shaving til I was about 18 because I just didn't care. My face was very scruffy most of my high school career. Still is. I just can't bring myself to care what I look like. I work in a bloody warehouse, who cares if I look like I belong in a suit?
 
Lol. I'm 15, I got a 'stache. My school doesn't care :-/ I have no idea why his school would. But if the school would ban me for my 'stache, I'd shave it off. Seriously. Not worth it.
 
The schools jealous of the boys mustache... Duh... Or maybe all the female teachers over there got theirs when they were 15 and they couldn't handle it :p
 
i dont exactly see why anyone would support this kid how hard is it to SHAVE A MUSTACHE

It isn't about how hard it is, or the mustache itself. Its more about the kid being forced to do something or be banned from school.

/shrugs.
 
If it were me, I wouldn't shave it either. It's my body and I can do whatever I want to it, provided it's not illegal or dangerous. My image is my image. I wore a trench coat to school because I like how they look. And this was after Columbine. I was told multiple times by members of the school staff to take my coat off and I turned around and told them that when it was in the rule books that I couldn't wear this coat, I'd just start taking detentions and not going to them because my clothing was my problem, not theirs.

It's a matter of principle at this point. The school is attempting to control something they have no right to do anything with.
 
I think the school do dont have the right to banned him cos of moustache.
But even so, its just the moustance cant the kid just shave it?

Btw, why the school want to ban him for that?
 
maybe the school warned him several times to shave it, but he never did, thats what my school would do probably, it would warn you then ban you, unless the school is jacked up theres nothing calling for insta ban with no warning
 
Wow, what is the big deal?! school didn't find more serious things.. then a kid with a mustache ?! holy crap

    We have some elderly guests that regularly come hang out at the bar at the end of the night, and every once in a while we don't see someone for a few weeks and then someone shows up with their obituary.
  • Varine Varine:
    We usually let them do their memorials there in the morning if they want to and I'll make them some snacks and drinks. There was one guy named Tom that came in like every night and would sit by himself and get a bunch of soup and a glass of wine. idk why but he LOVED our fucking soup, like he would order a fucking quart of it at a time and would always get so sad when we stop doing it for the summer.

  • Varine Varine:
    But he also loved our calamari, which is another thing I hate but it sells super well so I can't change it. There was one day he came in and was asking me how to make it, because he tried to at home once in the off season when we stop running it and he really wanted it lol
  • Varine Varine:
    I think he's one of the only people I've made recipes for for free because he really wanted a broccoli cheddar, and it was like dude I don't have a recipe, it's just whatever I have, but here, this is how you do it
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think he ever figured out how to do the calamari in a pan though, like idk how to do that either. He was afraid of the at home deep fryers though and it's like yeah, that's fair, I am too
  • Varine Varine:
    He was just such a sweet old man, we had two servers pregnant and they held a baby shower together, he was soooooo fucking excited to get to see a baby. Unfortunately he died a month or so before they were born
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So I decided to Google some people that I had not seen or heard from in a while and sure enough one of my old best friends, we had a falling out years ago but whatever, find out he died of Pancreatic Cancer in January. I have also lost a few of my closer acquaintances from growing up the last year. Getting old - people die - I kinda thought it was going to be this way a few years ago....

    Forum running super slow again
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not really clear from the stats as to what is causing the slowness.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    We get a lot of guest traffic so it may just be the load is getting too high and not from any particular source.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks like the server is maxed out on CPU.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Oh it looks like a lot of the traffic is Silkroad Forums. That domain isn't protected by Cloudflare.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    But the old Silkroad site is still on its own server. I just had a test site set up on this server for it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I just disabled that test site. Let's see if that helps the load.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks much better already.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I had actually forgot about the Silkroad site. I had asked
  • The Helper The Helper:
    SD Ryoko about it and he said the couple of people left on there really like it, that was a few years ago, maybe I should check back
  • jonas jonas:
    I guess when you're getting old, and the last day of soup season draws near, you start wondering
  • jonas jonas:
    will I make it to the start of the next season? or was this the last time I'll ever have my favorite dish?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am doing my first Vibe Coding project. In installed the environment and tools according to instructions but it is all chat doing this for me at my direction. It is fun really and holy shit I might finish in 2 hours what it would have taken a day to in my Access and this would be an electron app complete new

    Good stuff.
