Teen Banned for Dyed Hair Fights School's Policy

A high school student has been banned from classes in Tasmania after a dispute over the color of his hair.

Cruise Walsh, 16, claims he is being discriminated against at Hobart's New Town High School after he dyed his hair black with red streaks.

He says the school told him on Friday that until he changed his hair to suit policy guidelines, he would be banned from class.

But the well-spoken 10th grader said he could not understand why he was isolated.

"I felt surprised and shocked, made an outcast by a teacher," he said, after he left school upset only 15 minutes into the school day.

Break the rules, deal with the consequences.

Wonder what would happen if a girl bleached her hair blond with red hi-lights?  I wonder at what point they consider red too red.

Heh, I had a couple of teachers with blue hair.    :-)
