Straight-A 14-year-old student suspended from class indefinitely over "distracting" hairstyle.

If you're like me, when you see a headline like that, you really want to know what the girl looks like.

So I have a picture.

Here we go, a hairstyle too distracting to the other students, unacceptably tacky for Missouri schools:

If that's controversial hair, let's hope they never get out of their little bubble of a world. My little brother was sporting a multicolored spiked mohawk for years, and compared to what some of my friends did to their hair back in the 80s, his was tame.

They probably would have objected to my hair in high school.

(bright red, waist-length, ponytail.)

I suspect these folks would have objected to your hair even if you'd kept it cropped short. All that colour, don'chaknow. What, it's your natural colour? BAH! DYE IT.

The ONLY possible excuse I could see is if she was spending the entir class fussing with her hair, or getting other students to fuss with her hair.
ONLY.

That sort of hair coloring is done for grown women these days, like my wife. If done right (as this one is) it looks pretty good.

I'll note that an Indianapolis TV station is your reference. While Indy isn't all that cosmopolitan (I'm a native, but havn't lived there for 20 years), they're obviously having a lot of fun with the stupid decision of that school's assistant principal.

Wow. How controversial.

Are we going back in time? Did I miss something?

Please. Ironic mohawks are SO 17th century English nobility.

(My mohawk is not ironic. It is merely bitchin' and totally dead sexy.)
