"My son is only 5 years old, a Sikh boy and I never cut his hairs but someone in school today cut his hairs with scissors and my boy is really upset and saying 'I am not going to school now'. The Sikh Federation UK has said it was "totally unacceptable & devastating" for the child's "sacred unshorn hair" to be cut by "another pupil." (Image: SikhFedUK/Twitter)It tweeted: "Totally unacceptable and devastating to hear about the bullying & assault on a 5-year-old boy at south London school Alexandra McLeod. "For a Sikh boy to have his sacred unshorn hair cut by another pupil while in school is one of the worst possible #Anitsikhhate crimes."
