Are you serious? What is "natural" for humans then, short hair? Clearly really long hair can be an issue and so some people tie it back, "pony tail" is MERELY a term used for the type of tying back because it looks like a an actual pony, or horses tail.

And then you continue with suggesting it is appropriate at a school, where education is supposed to take place, to teach people that appearance (not cleanliness or hygiene, but aesthetics in this case) is important enough to segregate someone to isolated education unless they "conform" to the "Status quo" and immoral "dress code", which btw is about "DRESS", not bodily appearance. Hair grows from the body if girls are allowed, so should boys. Nails for example can cause harm and be impractical at school, and such a "short nails" rule goes for both male and females.

They said it is natural for him, which may at best apply to his personality, but since nobody is born with a ponytail they can conform to school's rules and show some order and discipline for a change.

Yes, i know, it may sound "fascist" and people may cry, but order and discipline are needed if you want a healthy and strong society. Besides, not all schools require this, so they can find some other school, if they are so sensitive and offended.

This issue is much deeper than stupid ponytails. Society became lazy, disorganized and weak. This is the reason people can be manipulated left and right, and they never can organize properly. Only when people realize their personal rights and freedoms are secondary to what is best for the society, only then order will prevail and defeating corruption will be something natural.
