This letter was printed in Points but without the final sentence, which makes the point no other letters on this subject did.
St John’s College isn’t ‘fixating over hair’ (Editorial, June 19) it’s expecting boys and parents to put others’ need for a peaceful learning environment before personal preferences in self-adornment. Far from being a ‘bad, outdated rule’, it’s the basic Christian tenet of ‘do as you would be done by’. Although the Dominion Post and possibly many of its readers may not share that belief, surely they can grasp that the inculcation of such principles is the very reason for the existence of Catholic schools.
