Posted April 2, 200619 yr http://www.kirotv.com/education/8335500/detail.html# Straight-A Student Pulled From Class Over Hair Color School Forbids 'Distracting' Hairstyles MARSHALL, Mo. -- An eighth-grader was taken out of class Tuesday because of her hair coloring, KMBC-TV in Kansas City reported. An administrator at Bueker Middle School said the girl's red highlights were distracting to other students. School officials said there is a rule at Bueker that hairstyles that are distracting to the educational process are not allowed. "Doing this is taking away from people's individuality," student Kristen McCorkle said. The 14-year-old, who is a straight-A student, said the school's assistant principal told her she had to go to in-school suspension and that she would be there until her hair is fixed. "I didn't think that any of this would happen," the eighth-grader said. She said she understands that some hairstyles can be distracting, but she doesn't think hers is. "Like colors that are totally out of the norm, blue, or green, or purple. But I think red is more normal and I don't think that many people would disagree with me," she said. "I don't feel that her hair is out of control," said Tim McCorkle, the girl's father. "It's definitely not outside of the boundaries that we have established here in the home." The district's superintendent, Dr. Robert Gordon, said he was alerted to the situation Tuesday afternoon. "This, as I understand it, is a matter of interpretation. I believe the assistant principal was doing what he felt was in the best interest of the kids," Gordon said. Tim McCorkle, who is the Bates City police chief, said the school's policy needs to be reviewed. "As one who has written policies, some need to be updated or sometimes they're just wrong," he said. Gordon said he plans to speak with the student's parents about the situation. Meanwhile, Kristen said the hair coloring was an accident. She didn't expect the highlights to be so strong and she plans to tone it down as soon as possible.

April 2, 200619 yr Yeah I got suspended in 8th grade for hair color too. It was a bullshit case. Our school had a rule that if you're hair was dyed you weren't allowed to come to school because it was distracting. So I perm dyed my hair, got called into the office and they suspended me for like 2 weeks. Apparently it's not against the law. :confused:

August 4, 200618 yr Are you serious? This is the most retarded thing I've ever heard. We can dress any way we want and not get in trouble. I kid wore short-ass boxers to school and because he was wearing breifs under them he didn't get in any trouble.

August 4, 200618 yr Yes, that's very distracting... Almost no red whatsoever... I never recalled myself getting distracted at someone's hairstyle in class... Just before class that would happen, then ok class time and lets get this class over with.

Our highschool doesn't have a code that you have to follow as long as you're not wearing 'spagehtii straps' and have a skirt that goes down past your knees (The enforce neither of those rules) Guys have no dress code =] No haircolor rules either, in fact there are kids all the time with blue, purple, and green hair.
August 5, 200618 yr No rules over here at all, though i think they'd send you home if you came naked. I love Holland :gaysex2:
August 5, 200618 yr lmao owned i got in trouble in grade 7 for having one of those wallets with a chain attached to it, so you never lose it. Thats about it
August 5, 200618 yr in my last year of school, my school didn't have any rules against hair, and I have quite long hair, i got in a big fight with the head, but there where no rules so he couldn't do anything, now, i have left, they have introduced new rules, boys MUST have short hair, and natural hair colours only, commies That's Disgusting. People have no right to tell you the length of your hair. ThatS PURE BOlshevikism. Damn Communists. What kind of sick schools are out now days. when I was in high school we had free periods, we could highlight our hair any colour, we could wear hats, it didn't even matter if we skipped classes...it was purely up to us. And nobody cared if our boxers were hanging out. What's most important is how a student performs in school and his personality. That's it. I dressed however I felt and it didn't matter to me or the school; I still graduated with honours.
