School Suspends 9-Year-Old After She Shaves Head To Support Friend Battling Cancer [Video]

Dealing with cancer, especially when you are young, is a very difficult experience.
The elementary student Kamryn Renfro just wanted to support her best friend Delaney Clements who was diagnosed with cancer.
And what happened? She was suspended from school.

Kamryn shaved her head to show compassion for her friend. “I didn’t want her to be the only one,” Kamryn said in the video below.
She decided to be brave, and shaved her head. Because she did this, Kamryn found some unexpected pushback.

Usually, most people would think that a school of all places would support Kamryn’s act of kindness. However, they immediately suspended the 9-year-old girl for breaking the no-shaved-heads rule that is part of the Colorado’s school’s dress code.

But when the mother of Kamryn wrote about the horrible act on Facebook, a firestorm erupted.
The people wrote comments about the school’s unthinking crime and even called the school district to complain.

As a result, the school was forced to recant the girl’s suspension. They allowed her back into the class. After that, the school shared a press release that read, “Compassion and selfless acts of courage are to be commended and encouraged…”

So, what do you think about this story in which a school suspends girl for shaving her head?
