Italian Witchcraft’s Long Hair not Welcome in Texas School

2001-JAN-19: Spring Hill, TX:

The two sons of David and Korey Tuttle, aged 8 and 10 had been going to a school in Hallsville TX. But they ran into difficulties when they tried to switch to Spring Hill school district. The district does not allow boys to wear their hair long. Their criteria is that the hair must not touch their collar. Girls can wear their hair long if they wish. The family follows the Stregheria religion, a.k.a. Italian Witchcraft. One of the practices of that religion is that children do not cut their hair until they reach the age of 13. At that time, they are regarded as adults. Pending response from the American Civil Liberties Union, the Tittles are home-schooling their sons.
