School tells student the pink streaks in her hair are distracting, takes her out classes

[compromise]

Homeschooling is the answer.

To pink hair, definitely.

More so than anything, this is my problem with public schooling.
Individuality is suppressed.

Yeah, I don't think I would make it through nowadays. I dyed my hair all kinds of colors during those years and into college, blue, green, red, white, black. Just for the helluv it. I did an interview for an internship at scripps with blue hair, I still got the gig.

Expression of Individuality is prohibited in Group Think Indoctrination Centres.

Principal Skinner: I have caught word that a child is using his imagination and I've come to put a stop to it

Exactly! Its bullocks. No one is distracted by someone else's hair color. No one fails a test because, "Oh crap! I was so busy looking at that person's hair I forgot all the answers!" Complete garbage. This is about forcing conformity, about producing students who think, act, and dress alike and crushing individualism more than anything else.

No, but I've certainly been distracted by the smell of a girl's hair. And it's texture. And the way it flowed when the breeze from the fan hit it...

Black hair is distracting so people with it should get suspended. Brown hair is even more distracting so people with it should instead get suspended. Blond is assuredly more distracting than black or brown so those who have it should actually get suspended. In the end gingers have more distracting hair than everyone else so they should get suspended. In short, the colors of hair completely establishes the position, that the school may pass any internal law whatsoever in relation to hair color, because there is nothing with which, Black, Brown, Blond and Red hair may not be closely or remotely connected.

Heck, I was just distracted by girls.

I don't think its about suppressing individuality. If it was, they would install a strict school uniform like they have in so many countries. Uniforms is indeed less distracting and more importantly offer less opportunity for conflicts. You have so many other ways one can express their sense of individuality without dying your hair.

Just about every private school in my country wears school uniforms and there is little or no govt regulations for private schools there. It just another way of creating a better learning environment for the children which is purpose of schooling in the first place

I agree, I think all schools should have a uniform.

A better learning environment? What are they learning? Of taxes and credit and monetary theory? No. Never that. They are learning how to obey authority, how to submit, and the victor's version of "history" among others things. Other things such as "needing" to go hopelessly into debt, after all, the money is just there "sitting on the table."

The level of which they indoctrinate children, to be certain, some 17,000 hours worth of flag waving, "Pledge of Allegiance" nonsense is of no little degree. It is why society largely gets offended when you suggest the true motives behind 9-11 or why they boo the Golden Rule. This group think mentality can be chalked up largely to the environment in which they were raised. That is, to the schools they were forced to go to.

It is amazing that such draconian rules are deemed to be legitimate often time on one's word alone. To question their authority is not to be tolerated. To break their rules either. As such you see, Zero Tolerance policies and standardized testing. They must all be the same. And Lord forbid if they wish to defend themselves.

You know what distracted me in school? The fact that I didn't want to be there. (Where were the busybody's concerns then?) Many valuable years of my time were wasted learning things that were either largely unneeded or flat out wrong. As if you could ever gather all of the personalities and learning traits of society and create one program to cater to them all. You would see, and do see, how foolish such an idea is. If education is their motivation, they've failed quite noticeably. We have a society of dumb fucks that couldn't tell me anything about anything short of which their indoctrination center drilled into them. That is "Columbus founded America!" and "Lincoln freed the slaves" or that their secondary and equally important indoctrination center, the television, and the media whores therein, tells them. It is incredible to witness.

It isn't because of the children with "obnoxious" hair styles and it isn't because of piercings.

Furthermore, as someone already mentioned, the mere fact that there were girls to talk to, and better shit to do, distracts one as much as anything ever could. I wasn't so much as worried about the colors of people's hair as I was other things.

I graduated bootcamp. Years of my life wasted, for me to skip class, stay in the cafeteria for hours on end, squabble over petty shit, and pollute my mind with authoritarian revisionist history... all the while hardly learning a thing of value.

The rules very much are about suppressing individuality. It trains an entire generation of youth to think about the world in one way and one way only. A way, might I add, that promotes the status quo and ensures their retention of power.

Some jihadists are more equal than others. You don't get the rifle. You get to sit Indian style empty-handed like everyone else.

Your elected representative gets the rifle.
