Question
my son is 17 and has piercings on his face the school board has set forth rules for the whole school district about not being able haveing any facial piercings. on the 27th of oct the pricipal saw him with them and asked him to take them out he couldn't because they are only a couple of weeks old so they sent him to in iss. I had a meeting with the vice principal on the 3rd of this month about him being singled out, and that there are many students with these.

Already Tried:
just talking to the school but they don't think he is being discriminating against. I don't seem to be getting anywhere with the school
Accepted Answer
There is no law against discriminating against someone due to face peircings. So even if it is unfair that he is the only one being punished it is not illegal. If the principal has not seen other children with them on then he can not take action with out proof that the others are violating the policy. You should file a complaint with the school board for his failure to enforce their rules and let them take action against the principal.
