J.T. Gaskin Suspended Hair, A cancer survivor who was suspended from a Flint-area charter school over the length of his hair will transfer to a public school, the teen’s mother confirmed Thursday.

J.T. Gaskins, 17, made national headlines after the governing board for Madison Academy in Burton ruled Jan. 23 the senior, who was growing his hair to donate to Locks of Love, violated the school’s dress code. It requires male students to keep their hair clean, neat and off the collar.

Gaskins’ mother, Christa Plante, met with the school board Wednesday evening to discuss a potential compromise. School officials offered several options for Gaskins they said would allow him to return to classes, including trimming his hair to braiding it or getting a perm. They also said he could transfer to another school or organize a fundraiser for Locks of Love, which collects hair for wigs for cancer patients.

Plante said Thursday the school’s offer isn’t enough.

“Madison Academy has not offered us a reasonable compromise,” Plante said in a statement. “We have decided to move J.T. to the public school, where they will focus on providing him with the best education possible no matter what his hair looks like.”

Nicholas Mihailoff, the school’s board president, said Wednesday that officials “feel like we’re presenting four very reasonable options.”

Boy Suspended Michael Jackson Dance, A 9-year-old Minnesota boy was suspended from school for performing a Michael Jackson dance routine during a fundraiser — complete with the late King of Pop’s signature groin grab.

Lenny Boberg and his mother, Mindy Boberg, were approached Thursday immediately after the “Billie Jean” performance by St. Stanislaus Principal Pal Bowlin, who Mindy Boberg said told her the move constituted gross misconduct, the Winona Daily News reported.

Mindy Boberg said her son had performed similar Michael Jackson routines the past two years, and this year’s performance had been approved by school officials at a Tuesday rehearsal.

Bowlin sent an email to district parents, and planned to meet with the Bobergs on Monday about the suspension.

Vincent PriceVincent Price:Ready to finish the night with a tribute to the late King of Pop? ABC has got you covered with a special look back at the legacy of Michael Jackson, including an overview of the management of his property and children today. It could only be better if Vincent Price narrated and said: “There Joe Jackson at closing to seal his fate.” But we can not get what we want sometimes. And for good reason, really.

As Jess finally decides to choose between Landry and Vince, Eric realizes that this is Dillion chockablock with problems not related to football. I want oil rigs, and an environmental message into play, although I do not think that is what is happening.

A child custody battle gets ugly, and finally, children should be saved with the help of a road block. My God! Expect smaller early to sell this well. Perhaps one of them is played by Keisha Castle-Hughes dressed as a child of four years or something.

The first anniversary of the death of Michael Jackson celebrates with a visit to Neverland Ranch and interviews with officials from the King of Pop’s. I want the children to Jackson to be tearfully referred to as “PYTs as” everything.

Troublemakers hockey player Adam Sandler took courses in this comedy that also features a very pissed-off Bob Barker. Julie Bowen Modern family also co-star, and this time is the member most restless of the group. Regards to avoid typecasting.
