Student Banned From School For ‘Unnatural’ Hair Color Is Allowed Back

That looks like a natural color of red to me…

I guess you can get kicked out of school for dyeing your hair. However it's OK to be a gang banger and carry a gun that is as long as you don't dye your hair.

These stupid fucks in Utah. Try worrying about educating the kids. Hey Hurricane Middle School, my opinion is you are all a bunch of cock-sucking morons. The school should be sued. Who gives a fuck what color hair is? Try spending more time TEACHING!

Who cares about her damn hair? What are her grades like? That should be the school's concern. If her mother is cool with her hair it is none of their business.

Seriously? Those school officials have nothing better to do…
Is ALL of Utah like that?

ridiculous!

When you ban all forms of self expression, the kid will turn into a hoodlum. The problem with the school system is they don't understand kids, and they understand even less about adults (which is what the kids grow into,) They forbid parents to parent, but put the kids away into jails for stupid stuff like this. Then, when the kid comes knockling on their doors, gun in hand, they are shocked. Can they get any stupider? Another place I will never send my kids or live.

What in the hell does hair color have to do with an education. I wonder if the teachers' hair color is natural!

I think the hair color is very becoming on her! Its up to the parents to parent, not the school. Seriously?

Is this all the school has to worry about? I would be more concerned with grades and student safety then what color the hair is on the students. Are the teachers not allowed to dye there hair either? When I was in school we could wear t-shirts with any slogan we wanted, have hair in any shade, style and in the spring we could wear shorts, mini skirts, and tank tops and halters no one got bent out of shape at all!

school system just plain stupid! Get a life! If college people don't care, why should high school!

How stupid…….Was she being disruptive? School officials are always trying to piss someone off…and they usually get away with it…. Leave the child alone…. Her hair is fine.

Why is a middle-schooler going to a hairdresser to get her hair dyed? Just asking.

This is absurd! Then again what do you expect from people in Utah? Polygamy is completely normal in certain areas of the state. Talk about bizarre.

Hell when I was in school people dyed their hair all sorts of colors, had dreds, mohawks, and all kinds of crazy stuff. Didn't distract us.

We moved from S Cal to Salt Lake City area, 7 years ago, but my son was in a different middle school in Utah. He was into dirtbiking and actually had a motorcycle. Most of his clothes consisited of the dirtbike 'labels' but the school called and said his shirts were inappropriate because it was 'gang' related. It was only a dirtbiking scene, or just a label from FOX, Stars n Stripes. I laughed at the teacher who turned him in AND at the principal. I had to let them know this was in NO WAY gang related and what it was affiliated with…his hobby of dirtbiking. They were over-paranoid with his style (coming from Cali), shocked and had no clue…duh! I felt the school system, in itself, was very ignorant and uneducated to the kids and the STYLE they choose. Everything to the schools in Utah were gang-related…ridiculous!

As a stylist I have seen hair that color that is natural.

Her hair is fine, especially considering the way teens dress anymore. I find this rule hilarious coming from that state as well….

My old high school slowly started trying to ban hair colors, earrings, and styles of hair. its not distracting they just dont want people to be individuals.

If you have ever lived in Utah with that arrogant group of Mormons this is not surprising. Armpit of the US!

Yes, there is a certain segment of the population in Utah that takes a more…..conservative….view of things.

I am not sure why that matters. A lot of kids that age get their hair dyed. Its not like its neon green or anything so I am not sure what the issue is. A principal at my younger sisters school tried to pull that mess once and my mother was not having it. Ridiculous.

So now the schools are trying to take away your right to have the hair color you want? What is wrong with our world today? It is an infrigment on your basic human rights and the school has no business dictating how you wear your hair or what color it is. Aren't schools suppose to be teaching children, not telling them how to dress or what to wear? Crazy, school administrators.

I agree with you 100%. I told my oldest daughter the other day that I was glad her and her sisters were out of school. If they were going to school these days I would home school them instead. Boy how times have changed and NOT for the better!!!!!

And we didn't have the discipline and crime problems like we do now. Sorry state our school system and country in general, have become.

How do you really feel, Sue? HA

How do you really feel, Sue? HA

Exactly!

It looks like a medium Auburn. I like her hair color, it's close to mine

Her hair is absoulty fine. I aggre with sue what are her grades like. I went to school woth a friend who dyed her hair way way more off that what this young lady has. I mean cherry red purple, orange at halloween. The school had other thngs to worry about. did I mention she had a solid A/B average. really hair. that's her mothe'r's problem.

I bet the same teachers and the principal look the other way, when they see bullying. Dyeing hair isn't hurting anything or anybody. People need to focus on REAL issues.

Wonder if they do the same thing with the 16 yr olds getting boob jobs for their birthday?

no wonder teens drop out of schools. damn nazi acting school board.

We've got our fair share of crazies, but that's unusual even here in Utah.

I got in trouble in high school for my hair color because some girl who had cotton candy pink hair said my hair was blue, when in fact I had black streaks that had a blue tint in the sunlight in my blonde hair. The assistant teacher told me I had to bleach it out so I dyed the back black and kept my bangs blonde. The assistant principle got so pissed at me and I took it to the school board that my hair was "distracting," but the cheer leaders who had their panties showing were still allowed to wear extreamly short skirts.

If it were purple or green – that would be unacceptable.

Next thing you know the school system's will be making the rules like boobs no bigger than a b cup or you can't weigh but such amount of weight. I mean really here people. This is so stupid. I could understand the rules like if someone came to school with some wild hair color like purple or green, but this is really ridiculous. It's crap like this that encourages teenagers to drop out.

The school jailers have too much time on her hands. I expected to see finger-paint red and instead it looks just fine and you wouldn't know it was dyed unless she said so. They have no right to undermine her parent's permission in this case. I am so glad I have no children. I would hate to have to subject them to such idiots.

Guns in school are okay but dye your hair and you're outta here!

Give me a fuckin break since when does the school have the right to tell you what color you can have your hair do we have more things to worry about.

I thought they did not allow bullying in schools…..and yet the schools themselves are doing the bullying.

I love her hair. School systems should encourage young people to be individuals instead of the robots they want them to be. When my son was in school he had a NATURAL white man afro and loved it. He was known for it by his peers…but the school teachers and staff raised Cain about it every single day and ultimately made what should have been some of the best years of of learning and growing the absolute worst.

Really this is about hair. Don't school have other things to worry about like teaching are children. I bet is was a distraction for the teacher not the kids. Wow

I think the hair color choice is up to the individual. The school should stick to more important issues, such as, trying to improve the education system. I think utah ranks about 47 out of 50.

Ya know some school leaders really need to climb out from under a rock and get some O2 in their brain cells.

yes by all means, let's focus on hair color and not putting a stop to bullying

Wow. Of all the matters that need attention in this world, they kick a student out of school for dyed hair? Way to teach diversity and keep up on what's most important in school : EDUCATION! They should be proud that the girl is AT school! And green or purple hair (as noted by another post) would be just as acceptable in my kids hair if her grades were kept up. If a school ever considered removing my child due to a HAOR color, dress code or not, they would have me showing up with rainbow hair and a damn good argument. For the sake of education and punctuality, pick your battles!!!

Hair*…. (Damn phone) lol

Purple or green would be uunacceptable? So if your child was an A/B or even C student, went to school everyday, you would really put up a fight? What more ridiculous? The fact that they sent the child home or that they took time to actually add this into the "rules". These people would crack in California! Lol
