Student fights code of conduct to keep pink hair
http://www.myfoxdfw.com/myfox/pages/...Y&pageId=3.8.1
This is a video - but to summarize, there is a student who is willing to fail school to keep her pink hair. She says her freedom of expression is being violated because pink hair is considered a distraction in the classroom.
Her mom is supporting her kid.
Basically, I think this girl needs to grow up. In the workplace, unless she works for Hot Topic, pink hair will not be tolerated and she just needs to learn to live with that.
To ruin her academic record over hair dye is ridiculous - and her mom isn't helping by telling her kid it's ok.

My advice would be for this young lady to more wisely pick her battles.

Pretty much, but I would also say the mom needs to be a parent.

If not being able to have pink hair in highschool is the worst thing that happens to this girl, she'll have a good life.

Yep.
The pink hair might be our first clue that you're onto something

I think that's awesome. School isn't the workplace and there's no good reason why a student shouldn't be allowed to come to class with pink hair.

Except that the dress code prohibits it. This is the equivalent of saying that student should be able to come in wearing a bra and panties. Following the dress code of any institution whether work or school is a condition of attending (or getting paid)

The issue is that there is nothing in the school dress code to prohibit it, yet the school is objecting.
