then they should leave him alone, because it's not like he's trying to put something over on people (I honestly thought the photo was going to show a kid wearing bizarre Goth type makeup or something).

It would be the same thing if women weren't allowed to cut their hair short or dye it different colors because they wouldn't look the same as their drivers license photos.
