Principal makes short work of students' long hair

Can a school principal cut students' hair without their consent, even if he has barber skills and the school has regulations against hair covering boy's eyebrows or ears?

After repeated admonishments and warnings at a middle school in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, a principal took matters into his own hands and summoned two dozen boys to the sports field on Friday morning.

"I just made it shorter," said the principal, surnamed Huang.
