We, the students of Walker High School, are requesting that the school reconsider its current hair color policy. We understand that the school has rules to maintain a focused learning environment, but we believe that self-expression through hair color does not interfere with education and is an important part of our individuality. We also believe allowing students to express themselves through hair color — when it is neat and appropriate — does not harm learning or safety. We ask the school to update the policy so students can choose bright hair colors without punishment.
