I don't like your hair color, you're suspended!!!

Has anyone heard about this 15 year old girl from Utah that was told that she could not go to school because of her hair color? Yes, you read right because of her hair color. Apparently, the schools dress code says that hair including beards and mustaches should be well groomed neat and clean and that hair should be a naturally occurring color such as red, black, blonde, and brown. The 15 year old girl’s hairstylist told her that her hair color would comply with the dress code. Obviously, the principal didn't agree he said that her hair didn't "look natural enough,” wow right? Since when did, schools become more concerned about their students hair color rather than their education. How does this young girl’s hair color affect another student? How does it affect her? Did I mention she's an Honors student? Yea, so even though she's a good student and her hair color neither affects hers or anyone else’s education she was asked to change her hair color or not return to school. So what did she do? She washed her hair 4 days so her hair color faded out to where it was acceptable to school administrators allowed her back in school.  Let’s be honest to kick a girl out of school because of her hair color is just plain ridiculous, what’s next? Are kids going to be suspended because they wear more than one earring? School administrators should be more concerned with the student’s education and preparing them for the future rather than trying to dictate what an appropriate hair color is. If the girl’s parents did not have a problem with THEIR child’s hair color what gives the school administrators the right to have a say in what someone else’s child chooses to look like? None, exactly.  I’m just saying this is just a little to ridiculous even for school rules.
