TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- A teenager who is growing out his hair for charity stayed home from class on Thursday after his school said he cannot come back until he cuts it, reported WVTM-TV in Birmingham.
Jackson Baker, 18, still refuses to trim his hair. In fact, Baker now plans to stay home from school every day.
The Tuscaloosa Academy senior said that regardless of the consequences, he is not cutting his hair, even though that means dropping out months before graduation.
"I'm going to be home schooling now until the end of this year," Baker said.
Baker's mane now hangs down 9 inches. He is growing it out to 10 inches so Locks of Love can make a wig out of it for cancer patients.
Baker's grandmother, Libby, died of ovarian cancer six years ago, and she had worn a Locks of Love wig.
I should've done this. Well, if I had, my hair probably would've rejected the person. It tends to be...unfriendly.
Still, kudos for the kid for spitting in the face of zero tolerance. This kid could use his help.
