NOT since the middle ages has there been such a witch hunt for a redhead.
A 17-year-old, who was about to sit her senior exams, has been banned from school because her hair is too ginger.
Emily Reay has naturally auburn hair, and toldThe Mirror she has had the same colour for three years.
But after returning from the Easter school holiday break, teachers at Trinity School in Carlisle, UK, banned her from attending classes again until she had a “more appropriate” hair colour.
“I’ve had the same colour for the past three years, and nobody at school has commented on it,” she told The Mirror.
“Everyone knows me as that ‘young ginger singer’.
“If I had to dye my hair brown, I would lose that.”
The budding musician toldtelegraph.co.uk the school ban made her cry.
“I was very angry at first, and then burst into tears,” she said.
Emily offered to pin her hair up if teachers were concerned about the colour, but the offer was rejected.
Emily said her colour had been a “bone of contention” since the start of the school year, but teachers had let her get away with it.
“The laughable thing is my hair was brighter than this on prom night, and I won best hairstyle award.”
so...she dyes her hair red the past three years, and is told now to stop and she protests? why is this brat news?
ReplyDeletestop dying your hair dipshyt.......your eyebrows and eyelashes show your a brunette.
You missed the point and if someone has to explain to you why this is newsworthy you're not worth the explanation.
ReplyDeleteno, i didnt miss the point. even in the 90s, schools had rules regarding excessive or inapropriate hair colors. my highschool didnt allow any color other then "natural" with allowances for salon haircolorings.....ie brunette going to a natural blonde tone...howver the 40volume bleached trend was banned, so was the all black goth trend, the color trends etc etc.
ReplyDeleteits not news, its nitpicking a fair policy that in some school districs have been around for over twenty years.
sorry your a sucker for stupidity asshat.
