UPDATE: Here's a link to the change.org petition started by J.T.'s mom.
A Michigan teen who survived a bout with leukemia has been suspended from school over the length of his long hair, which he is planning to donate.
The Detroit News reports that 17-year-old J.T. Gaskins has been growing out his hair since last summer in order to donate it to the Locks of Love charity. Gaskins said he was inspired to make the donation after learning that the sister of a family friend was diagnosed with cancer. More...Yahoo News
