15-year-old Liam with severe eczema removed from school over extreme haircut; stepfather disputes, headteacher defends policy.

Liam, a 15-year-old with severe eczema, was removed from Strood Academy in Kent for having a haircut deemed "extreme" under school policy. His stepfather, Barry Sandman, argues the haircut helps manage Liam's condition by keeping his head cool. The headteacher, Jon Richardson, defends the policy for promoting equality among students and states there will be no changes. Liam has since returned to class, but Sandman plans to file an official complaint.
