I'm guess I'm wrong for focusing on the fact that it was such a BAD dye job in the first place....

lol, I just didn't watch the video  It was probably done at home by her or her friends. I had friends who were super into that, but they used "natural" colors. By which I mean they died their hair Black, Brown and Blond at the same time. It passed the school's dress code.

Our dresscode went as far as to spesify that your hair had to be all one (natural) color.

THANK YOU!!!
I kept reading the posts waiting for anyone to comment. I could understand her fighting if her hair was actually HOT PINK or something. Her hair is hardly pink at all. Lighter than this smiley -> 
It's a gross mess. She should wash her hair and return to class.

It's a bad dye job and sorry to say, she looks like a complete slob in general. If she was fighting for something she spent tons of money to get done I'd be more inclined to back her up, but this just seems like a half assed Martha Dumptruck attempt to be with the cool kids.

I don't go around judging people based on how they look though, so I don't see a problem with all that.

This may fly in Vancouver, but it certainly won't in most parts of Toronto.

whaaaaaaaaaa f'in whaaaaaaaaaaaa - so the girl has pink hair - i honestly doubt its REALLY hurting anybody (other than the uptight moral sensibilities of the administration)
as for the job arguement - who says she either needs or wants one - all she wants is to be able to go get her free education like everybody else.
at any rate - this school's assinine arguement is the same one used in my hometown for why pregnant girls should be expelled - their appearance was a distraction and it might influence other students to make babies. bull.shit.
i've gotta agree with the supporters here - it may be a little thing to stand up for - but at least she has an opinion about something and is willing to take a hit for it. can't really say the same about the rest of this apathetic generation...

Squirell:
Most schools in the U.S. have some form of dress code. Are you saying that it's okay for a kid to simply ignore the rules because they want to "self-express"?
Schools are for learning. Self expression may be fine in art class, drama, etc., but doing it in ways which intentionally violate school policy is breaking the rules.
The issue is not the pink hair -- the issue is that she feels entitled to not obey the rules. Do you think that all school dress codes ought to be optional?

Why not? There aren't any dresscodes at our typical State U's...at least not any strict ones. I think the only thing banned from my campus are t-shirts with "hate" messages.

Man, if only that woman had followed the rules and sat at the back of the bus.

I highly doubt Rosa Parks would like being African American compared to pink hair.

I guess I'd feel different if I went to a school that allowed pink hair. But I didn't. It's not "mindlessly following rules" it's learning what battles to fight. Is crappily dyed pink hair worth a semester of F's? I mean sure an interesting admissions essay, but perhaps her choices of schools will shrink due to the grades.
In the grand scheme of things, pink hair is NOT such a big deal. While on one hand that could mean that the school shouldn't care so much, the parent should also be teaching the kid to pick her battles.

This sounds like a battle worth fighting though. You have to stand up for yourself, and learn to do that when you're young, otherwise people will walk all over you.
Besides, pink hair on girls is sexy.
