The Law Explained

In a fierce push against the counter-culture movements of the 1960s, local school boards and city councils in Mesquite created strict grooming codes. They essentially outlawed unusual hairstyles for minors, specifically targeting long hair on boys and brightly dyed colors. Though largely unenforceable today due to First Amendment protections, the strict conformity rule reflects the cultural anxieties of the era.
