Norm, I have a lot of respect for you so I will agree that she is loved no matter what: for what she is inside and as a child of God.

I get that some people aren’t good with tats or hair dye in crazy colors. To each their own. We all have our views. But, and thisn’t intended to single you out, PLENTY of freepers seem to have issues with it beyond the personal.

This kid had that hair for 3 years and no one complained until now. Thats a problem. WHY? Because a Muslim got uppity about it most likely. Not because the school was colorbling for 3 years. So again, Why now? Thats my problem here.

Some/many people in the later Xer (I’m Year 1 GenX)and earlier generations have a problem with the hair thing. And Tats. To be honest, unless they are legit ganbanger crap, who does it hurt beyond the person with them? Is anyone seriously capable of making the argument that a class is being ‘disrupted’ because of a tattoo? What about all the military that have them? Are they not just as whatever on them?

With all the genuine evil circulating in schools and through younger people, I really don’t see why something like this freaks so many out. They made a choice. they will live with it, good bad or indifferent. But really, why should the rest of us freak over it?

“I’ve had the same color for the past three years...”, which implies it wasn’t like that prior to three years ago

Or "T've been at this school three years, and they've only just noticed my hair"

This is horrible! I grew up with natural red hair and it was so difficult for me being called names every day! Thankfully it has faded to strawberry blonde now that I am elderly. But it is so hard to be a redhead when you are a child.

EYEBROW PENCIL and or DYE can make your eyebrows DARK! I used a dye on mine, mine are naturally almost white. I also use heavy mascara. Those of you with natural dark lashes and brows are blessed. We redheads have almost no color, other than on top of our heads. Redheads can have every eye color there is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I grew up with a girl named Sharon who had that hair color, with brown eyes, and dark eyebrows and lashes. I always thought she had unusual coloring, and this goes back to first grade, and NO she did not color her hair or wear make up back then. She was striking, her coloring, etc. And I always marveled at her unusual coloring, totally natural.

These "beliefs" have been around for much longer than the newly rediscovered knowledge of Neanderthal hair color.

Surely our Cro-Magnon forebearers who competed with the Neanderthals for hunting grounds and occasionally mated with them knew what color their hair was by simple observation. The suggestion (not my own) that I communicated was that anti-ginger prejudice is that old and persists with its reasons forgotten.

Does she dye her hair, is so she needs to stop if not she needs to go after the school.

End of issue.

I did not know this. Thank you! That’s actually something that I’ll look up.

I must have missed them. Some came close due to lighting, but this girl’s color is very unnatural. And it’s now clear that it IS unnatural. She’s got naturally auburn hair, not that neon orange which, of course, is helpful to her music career (as well may be all this publicity).

I don’t blame her, “You gotta have a gimmick” to make it in the music world, and if flaming neon orange hair does it for her, mazel tov. She’s certainly young enough, and pretty enough, to do anything she wants with her hair!

If the school had a problem with her hair, they should have spoken up well before now. They can have rules about “unnatural color” hair, but don’t get to the end of the school year and THEN enforce it. Terrible thing to do to a kid.

“always check the eye brow color.”

To me, the brows are what’s fake — obviously pencilled on and sculpted. The hair is more natural than the brows. BTW, I have 3 cousins with that exact hair color, none of whom are siblings, and all are grandchildren of a redhead of the same shade.
