<p>Our schools are just the same...I find it terribly offensive. My oldest D was once pulled out of class because she had taken a pink bandana, folded it in 1 inch folds until it resembled a headband, and wore it just like a headband with the knot at the bottom and just a one-inch strip of pink showing at the top. She was informed that it was "gang attire"!!!!!!!!!!! HUH? </p>
<p>I was actually pretty worried about some highlights that my D just got...though they were intended to be very natural looking, the reddish ones DID end up pretty pinkish, and I sweated the first day or two back at school. Thankfully, no one has said anything about it.</p>
<p>The "Goth" kids, though, are allowed to walk around in clown-like makeup--including black lipstick--and corsets. Even the guys. Now THAT'S not distracting, but a few highlights, yep, I can see the problem. :rolleyes:</p>
