Is it a public or a private school? If the latter, then they ought to have the right to suspend or expel those students who fail to conform to any of the school's outlandish requests. However, if the school is a public one, then they have not that right. In our current society, it is generally felt that everybody has the right to an education; nothing as ridiculous as dying one's hair ought to take away that "right".

When I dyed my hair purple I got sent to the administrators office. But when I got in there he looked at me and the write up and told me this was a waste of time. I honestly think the teacher just didn't like me. X)

It's stupid, I think new tattoos are more distracting to students. And there's not much they can do about those. lol

It doesn't even look pink- it looks ranga (or red head.)

That is a dick move what the school did, and it is totally anti-educational.

The school had no basis for suspending her. The color of her hair was not going to affect her or anyone else's work - this was just discriminatory.

That was a violation of free expression rights.

That is pretty foul. The only hair that I agree needs to be controlled is its length. But dye, seriously, I thought it would look silly and rebellious but is nice and respectable. And she got BANNED? Dress codes are okay, but banning her for dyeing her hair is just not Libertarian, I am a little more left than Libertarians but I still agree with some of their views.

Wow! My school doesn't ban people who dye there hair. That is dumb and what was the school thinking!

So, the childs hair needs to be a "natural colour?" What if the kid dyes their hair brown, or blonde? Some kids bleache their hair to a very fake looking orange. Is that a "natural shade?" because technically it is blonde or copper. both natural colours. Also, what if the child has brown hair, but gets tips??

Maybe it's just the picture, but that looks almost like my niece's natural hair. I wonder if she'd be barred from school altogether.

At any rate, you'd think with how far behind U.S. schools are compared to most of the world, they'd have better things to do than worry about a kid's hair.

The endless string of moronic stories about horrible decisions made by schools convinces me we need to invest in making "teacher" a 60k+/ year job requiring at least a Masters in an actual subject -- and as a trade for the deserved pay and benefits, the right to immediately fire any teacher who cares that much about the color of a little girl's hair.

OK uniform fair enough but apart from uniform hair is she has to style how she wants it's stupid she's only allowed a 'natural colour' (Not even my school is that strict :P)

Public school students are allowed to freely express their ideas and creative instincts unless they purposely cause harm to another student. They probably just don't like pink. :(

the pink is aresome and should be aloud be couse of there human rights so she/he has her /his so we can not comment on this

I think its dumb. So what? The girl was being creative, showing who she was. Who is the school to stop her from showing people who she is? I want to dye my hair blue but i go to a private school so i cant. But honestly they tell you over and over to show yourself to th world, but if they dont let you dye your hair, if thats the way to show yourself, there holding you back!
