Call for support for Carrick McClean, school student barred from A-Levels due to having a beard
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has called for support for a Derry Sixth Form student Carrick McClean.
Mr McClean has been banned from sitting for his A Level at St Columbs in Derry because he has a beard.
The pogonophobic rules of the school do not allow students to have a beard
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, this is not the 1950s and we fully support Mr McClean. There is a petition that can be signed and we expect a change of mind by the school

Mr Carrick Mcclean has been barred from his A-level* classes at St Columb’s College in Derry because of his facial hair. Please sign the petition to have him reinstated.
