No, They Don't Worship Sampson
Boys Denied School Enrollment Because Of Long Hair
Associated Press

Two East Texas boys whose religious beliefs forbid hair-cutting until
age 13 have been barred from attending a public school because their
hair is too long. Parents David and Korey Tuttle of Spring Hill said
their religion, called Stregheria, is a form of Italian witchcraft which
prevents hair-cutting until the boys reach 13.
