The CCSD dress code in most schools states that a child must have hair in natural colors. They say it is distracting to other students. But the ACLU of Nevada states that it is not distracting if it is not harming other students education. Help us stop the ban on unnatural hair colors

The feedback I am receiving highlights how many students feel that their personal expression is unfairly restricted by these outdated school policies. I am currently documenting these accounts to present a comprehensive argument to the school board members who oversee the dress code regulations.

The momentum behind this effort has grown significantly and confirms that many people agree these regulations are outdated. This collective interest puts us in a much stronger position to request a formal review of the current dress code policy.

What if someone was supporting breast cancer awareness month and dyed hair pink in support... "Trying to help the cause? 3-day suspension!"
It is hair, it's not distracting. If someone has pink hair, then it's not more distracting than a pink chair or poster or whatever.
I dyed my hair purple when I was in middle school and when I showed up to school they made me dye it to a natural color which totally fried and ruined my hair since I just recently dyed it! Hair is a way of expression and people should not have to change themselves for school.
Unnatural hair colors shouldn't be seen as a distraction, but as a form of self expression. Students allowed to express themselves at school freely might enjoy their time there more and even perform better academically, if that's the case.
My school has no ban on unnatural colors, and it has never caused a single problem. Kids need the right to express themselves, and banning colors takes a way a part if that right.

If high schools are allowed to have unnatural hair colors when the work is harder and easier to get distracted from, why is it so bad? It's obviously not distracting if it's okay in Highschool.
