Since when is it draconian to not allow long hair?

What exactly would the punishment be, no gym class? You damn long hairs have to sit in the grass and smoke cigarettes until your hair is short enough for dodge ball.

"The elder Mr. Skinner, born Forby Leonard Skinner, was a gym teacher at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville in the 1960s."
Robert E. Lee highschool, that must be the white version of M.L.K. highschool

Did he die on the 20th? That is the same date in 1973 Jim Croce died in a plane crash.
