I belong to a very small bulletin board that I rarely post on these days. Yesterday, I wandered over and there was a post about hair color. In summary: A high school student had dyed her hair purple, and was sent home from school. The parent was defending her daughter's right to have purple hair, and the poster - the person posting this whole story on the board I belong to - thought that was soooooo ridiculous.
Meaning, ridiculous for the parent to defend their child, apparently.
The whole post ended with "what, so now it's normal for 17 year olds to dye their hair purple?" and "I would have shaved her head and sent her back."
Now, granted, very few people responded (this is supposed to be a friendly-type board, where things don't get debated), but one response was "I sure hope her mother takes pictures, because that girl will laugh at herself later."
Laugh at herself? For her hair color? Maybe if you beat all the individuality and self-confidence out of her, sure! Let's do that!

And as for the shaving her head comment, don't they think that she'd be sent home for that, too? It's hair colour, for crying out loud. Aren't there more important things to worry about?
