Seriously? Really? Are you serious bro?



In the past few months, schools have banned everything from yoga pants and Ugg boots tobirthday candles and peanut butter sandwiches. But one Utah middle school is cracking down on hair color—even if the color in question isn't a garish blue or green but just a dark shade of red.

After being kicked out of class last week for dyeing her brown hair auburn, an honors student at a Utah middle school has been allowed to return to school—but only after she toned down her hair color.


Though Rylee MacKay, 15, had been dyeing her hair the same shade every six weeks since September, it wasn't until earlier this month that the school took issue with the color. On Feb. 4, Hurricane Middle School vice principal Jan Goodwin spotted Rylee in the halls and ordered her into the office. She had just had her hair touched up two days earlier.

That's sad... in my high school (and middle school), any hair color was allowed so long as it was natural. Now, auburn itself may not be natural but it is a form of brown which is natural. Seems like the school is just overreaching it's boundaries here. Maybe they should focus more on teaching than kicking out a girl with auburn hair?
 
Don't those people have anything better to do?

No?

Maybe they should just be fired then, they obviously serve no real purpose.

More like the person who suggested that being gay somehow makes people not have a purpose in life.



Yeah, I know. The way you phrased your post made me think of that story though.

Agreed on where the focus should be.

Wow, that's just incredibly sad. As a Special Ed teacher, she should know better.
