Locks of Love

Schools these days seem a lot less tolerant of things than they were in my day. We were required to wear slacks and ties and the girls had plaid uniforms, but there seldom was a problem with students violating their school's dress code. But this week 17-year-old Zachary Aufderheide was growing his hair to donate to the "Locks of Love" charity and it got him thrown out of Canton South Hig

One Flint student just got suspended from school over the length of his hair. 17-year-old J.T. Gaskins is a leukemia survivor who wanted to donate his hair to Locks of Love, but school officials at Madison Academy say his hair length is a violation of school policy, according to The Detroit News.

Eight-year-old Rose Muennix from Flint is no ordinary eight-year-old. Rose has been named a semifinalist in the 2011 search for Huggable Heroes, and is one of 75 young leaders recognized and honored by Build-A-Bear Workshop for helping make their communities and world a better place.
