But what about the teen-age boys now sporting long tresses that cover their ears, if not their eyes? One firm that manages 100 pools in the Washington area has decided that the only fair and logical thing to do is to apply the rule without regard to sex, is now insisting that a boy with hair like a girl must wear a bathing cap like a girl...
