Schoolboy banned over moustache

A DAD has slammed a school’s decision to send his son home for having a moustache – because it doesn’t fit in with a strict uniform policy.

Akaash Iqbal, 14, was banished from Manchester Academy – and says teachers told him to shave or not be allowed back.

His dad, Asif Mahmood, claims he was called by the school and told to be on standby with a razor.

But Mr Mahmood, 42, refused and has branded the saga ridiculous as Akaash is stranded at home ahead of an important exam.

On a related note, this part of an article about Gov Sanford left me scratching my head.

In the AP interviews, Sanford laid out his thoughts and feelings in sometimes lurid or odd detail. For example: He said close Christian friends advised him to end the affair immediately and used graphic, figurative terms on how to do so — “the first step is, you shoot her. You put a bullet through her head,” he said.

The words were not meant literally, but reveal how dramatically Sanford described the saga.

On second thought, I would say most of his Christian friends are part of the NRA, so that comment makes total sense.
