 I laughed yesterday during the conversation about the broccoli haircut for high school boys. I've seen it in our conservative parish on many of the altar boys. Here's my take. In our Catholic schools, the students wear uniforms and have personal grooming standards. Boys must be clean shaven and their hair must be cut around the ears and off the shirt collar in the back. Thus far, there are no regulations on how long the top of the hair can be.
