How far would YOU take it?

I wasn't going to take it anywhere, to be honest, and then reconsidered after the input of friends/family. "It" being the dress code violation my son received on Friday for his hair. This is a public school. He was told his bangs were too long and that, if they were not trimmed by Monday (no worries I'm a licensed stylist and cut it myself), he would be on "lunch suspension" until the situation was "corrected". We had lunch with friends today and I noticed one of the girls had long hair, no bangs, that she was constantly pushing back, out of her eyes. I asked if the school had ever issued a violation for it. She has never been told to get a haircut.

For reference, BabyG is a good kid-no principal visits, no fights, good enough grades. He's just an average kid. Also, for reference, a picture of his hair:



What would you do? He's not wanting a trim but I know that, if I cut it, it wouldn't be the end of the world. It's basically the principle of the issue. Nowhere did it state this in the student handbook and I really don't think his hair is a distraction.

TIA.
