May God keep a vigilant eye on both of these young girls ............ and heal the one with cancer ... I have tried to maintain a certain level on this blog, so I will make NO COMMENT on the staff at Caprock Academy, but, I sure am thinkin 'em.
“Caprock Academy does have a detailed dress code policy, which was created to promote safety, uniformity, and a non-distracting environment for the school’s students. Under this policy, shaved heads are not permitted,” the school noted in a community statement, released to parents Monday. “Exceptions, however, are sometimes made under exigent and extraordinary circumstances.” The statement was posted on Facebook by Wendy Smith Campbell — whose daughter, Delaney Clements, is battling the rare childhood cancer neuroblastoma, and whose hair loss from chemotherapy inspired her friend Kamryn to go bald too. To the post, Campbell added, “Please tell me how a shaved head is a distraction to a learning environment,” prompting a slew of supportive responses.
Kamryn, who was permitted to return to school on Tuesday for the time being, tells KKCO that she decided to shave her head because “it felt like the right thing to do.” And at least one other friend has joined her as of Monday, according to a photo of another shiny-headed girl posted to Campbell’s Facebook page, with the caption, “Another baldie to add to the bunch!!!!”
I would like to see each child, go to school, bald, and in a gesture of solidarity, to show their feelings that that the child with cancer is NUMBER ONE ... all, with middle fingers extended in a NUMBER ONE gesture to the staff and faculty ..................... and the world. Educators are becoming more like coaches and politicians and evangelists. In nearby Columbus, they are finding that CRIME, of a nature, has infiltrated their schools at every level .... "changing grades to make the staff look better." More and more a hymn runts through my head ... "Is no one worthy" ..........
