Some baseball fans wear their hearts on their sleeves. Zachary Sharples, a Florida 7th-grader chose to wear his on his head, and that got him suspended from school. Zachary got a “Ray-Hawk,” a kind of Mohawk favored by some players on the Tampa Bay Rays, sprayed it blue and cheered on his team in the AL division series win over Chicago.
Before Zachary went to bed, the Bradenton Herald reports, he made sure to wash off the dye so he wouldn’t get in trouble at school the next day. Didn’t work. Zachary’s mohawk still earned him an in-school suspension for violating the school dress code. “I did nothing but sat there,” Zachary said Tuesday. “We couldn’t talk, it was stupid.”
His dad says school officials told Zachary he can either shave his head to be allowed back into his classes, or let his hair grow out – in in-school suspension. His family is moving to St. Petersburg instead, where the kid can presumably wear his hair however he wants.
