I really doubt that hair is all that much more flammable than any other part of your body. You'd feel the heat and move before your hair as actually set aflame. It really sounds like a crappy reason for a silly dress code.

A batik is a piece of fabric worn by women on their heads. Maybe it has more meaning, I don't know.

How did he get the job? No other applicants?
He once told us that his father was a priest.

Depends on what you put in/on your hair. Ask Michael Jackson's ghost. Talk about silly dress codes!

Exactly! In Romania it's tradition for women and girls to wear batiks in church. Nowadays they're usually worn by old women and penticostals. I'm pretty sure the teacher just invented this excuse!

I wonder if the pope knows.
In Romania the bigest denomination is orthodox, the religion thaught in school is also so. His father was most likely an orthodox (if he was catholic, he couldn't marry). So it doesn't have anything to do with a pope.
