Mary Thomas said her daughter Taylor was suspended unfairly for having a double fish tail comb.
She was suspended from Wilbur Wright Middle School for five days even though the student code of conduct book doesn't ban the double fish tail comb . It specifically bans the rat tail comb only.
In fact, Thomas said there are lots of combs that are not banned that could be considered dangerous.
Thomas said combs are not dangerous; people who use them as weapons are.
But school officials said the principal made known what kinds of combs were not acceptable.
And he said although the rattail comb is specifically mentioned in the conduct book, the double fish tail comb, as well as others, can technically fall under other language listed in the book.
Not only does Thomas want the suspension revoked, but she wants any mention of it removed from Taylor's school records.
Dayton School officials said they are sticking by their decision and the suspension stands.
