'This is the United States, not Iran!" - Rael commends pre-schooler's fight against Texas school district

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 18 - Rael, founder and leader of the International Raelian Movement, had harsh words today for officials in a suburban Dallas school district that suspended a four-year-old boy from day school for wearing his hair long enough to conceal his earlobes and shirt collar.

"Is this the United States or the Middle East?" Rael asked in a statement released this morning.
"In countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia, the police enforce horrible dress codes that repress individuality and violate basic human rights. What's shocking is that this Texas case is right here in the United States. When a four-year-old boy has to leave a classroom for having long hair, you have to wonder what the school authorities are thinking. Have they ever read the U.S. Constitution? Have they ever even heard of human rights?"

Rael commended the boy's parents for "upholding their son's freedom to express himself as an individual "and "refusing to yield in the face of rigid stupidity." He also commended the boy for his plan to donate his hair to an organization that makes wigs for cancer patients.

"This boy already has far more common sense and humanity at age four than the adults running the school district," he commented.
