Illegally Blond

by: Deborah Lambert, February 19, 2009

Say it isn’t so.

Are a couple of teenage girls about to be kicked out of school for being “too blond?”

The answer is yes—and the bottle blonds, who are students at the Rednock School in Gloucestershire England, both claim it’s a big mistake, according to parentdish.com.

At issue is the headmaster’s claim that the girls, Reagan Booth, 16, and Aby Western, 15, violated school regulations against “unnatural hair colors.” He says their “lightened locks are against the rules and is demanding that they both go darker or face expulsion.”

The girls are defending their turf, saying that “unnatural hair colors are blue, purple, green and bright red,” certainly not the golden blond favored by superstars like Christie Brinkley and Cameron Diaz....

Probably they’re getting so much attention from boys, it’s deemed disruptive.

If they wore burkas then the issue would be moot. /sarcasm

“...Rednock School in Gloucestershire England”.
I always wondered how they pronounced redneck.

"Natural" or not, is hair color really something so important that it must be regulated by school policy?

I get that it's somewhat distracting to see kids with bright pink or green hair. But the distraction is rather limited. And after a day or so the novelty completely wears off and no one cares anymore. It all seems rather harmless.

Just an arbitrary rule for the sake of having rules, I guess.

Whats "too blond", whats "unnatural"?

My first girlfriend was a 6 foot Danish gal and had natural white/blond hair... you couldn't get any more blond...

She was also accused of having a "higher unnatural upper figure"... but they were also "real and spectacular".... Dam I miss her ;>
