Beard Gets Boy, 15, Banned From Class

Beard Gets Boy, 15, Banned From Class: "A BOY of 15 has been banned from class because he has grown a beard.

Teachers put 6ft 2in Harrison Cerami in isolation when he refused to shave.

But mum Kerry, 41, claims razors would trouble her son’s acne and has taken him out of the school in protest.

She said: “There are �children with earrings, nose rings, eyebrow �piercings – yet Harry’s being singled out for having a beard.

“He’s hit puberty and is just a hairy lad who wants to have a nice, trimmed beard.

“I could understand the isolation punishment for something more serious, but to be put into a small room for a day is disgraceful.”

Mrs Cerami, of Blackburn, said Harrison will not go back to Ribblesdale High School unless it changes its rules.

Headteacher Simon Smith said: “Our policy for boys is they attend clean shaven.”

He added that Harrison could return to his classroom if he shaved his facial hair."
