Having watched the video and seen where the handbook bans "distracting hair colors", I have to ask...would it be 'distracting' for a girl (or boy) to go bleached blonde? What if their natural hair color was a flaming red and they were the only redhead in school? What if they decided to shave their head?
The only 'distraction' I see here is from some administrator who doesn't like a child with a non-traditional hair color. I expect that any 'distracting' novelty from this color would have worn off among classmates and teachers rather quickly.
