Schoolgirls banned from lessons by headmaster for being 'too blonde'
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER 22nd January 2009
A headteacher has come under fire from parents and pupils after banning two 16-year-olds from school for being 'too blonde'. Raegan Booth, 16, and Aby Western, 15, say they were threatened with expulsion by David Alexander unless they dyed their hair brown.
The girls claim they are being forced to adhere to the strict dress code of Rednock School in Dursley, Gloucestershire, in order to sit GCSE exams. But Raegan remains adamant that her hair is a natural shade of blonde. Furious: Reagan Booth, 16, left, and Aby Western, 15, refuse to darken their hair.
She said:'The school rules clearly state that there are to be no "unnatural" hair colours on students. 'Unnatural hair colours are blue, purple, green and bright red. Blonde is considered a natural hair colour and there are many different shades.
'The head claims that he must follow the rules. To me this suggests that certain students are being made to look a way which is against their will. 'I believe this is wrong and no amount of hair dye affects a person's ability in school.' The teenager, who is refusing to dye her hair a darker shade, added: 'As we are in the middle of our GCSE year, we should not be excluded over something so petty.

Yet another idea stolen from the Highway Patrol. They came up with this idea first with those cards they use to check window tinting. Too blonde. Yikes!
They have headteacher’s in the UK ?!?!?!?
Natural? I don’t think so. But not “unnatural” in the realm of hair color
Not Guilty
Blonde hair today ... No Bother.. will be
BURKHA tomorrow, anyway!
Next will come disqualification due to “Too Caucasion”.
Don’t laugh.
You beat me to it. However, they are only 16 so I didn’t really notice.
Absolutely … not guilty.
future porn stars? The rate that country is going it might be their only profitable sector.
Well, at least they dyed the roots darker. What the hell does this guy want anyway?
Unless they have blonde hair that really lightens as it grows and the sun bleaches it, they may be a darker shade of blonde, or dirty blonde. But it’s hardly a violation of the hair color rules. It’s not like the color is going to be disruptive. It’s a really light shade of blonde. Big Obama’ing deal.
This late in the evening, it might've been missed...
The drapes to match the carpet..
I guess they just don’t look middle-eastern. We can’t have that!
Hey, teacher! Leave them kids alone!
So Not Guilty!
Au contraire, they are legal at 16 in the UK
