What's the country coming to?

Gavin "shels"

This girl was suspended from a school in Tallaght as she had a purple streak in her hair, what a joke. The girl is in 6th year and has been turned away to be taught only months before her Leaving Cert.

Is this not discrimination? How can colour in someone's hair affect how she should be taught.

I say all us school students should dye our hair purple and red and go to school in protest, I'm up for it.:D

Red Hand

She looks like a rabble-rouser or a communist. Or a stage-coach tilter. Down with that sort of thing!

I remember in school, boys who bleached their hair used to get a few detentions in a row for breaking the dress code.

Gavin "shels"

Dress code my boll**k. Thats discrimination, it's a complete joke.:mad:

I heard in one school, they are banning playboy pencil cases and make up. Girls have this thing with buying stuff thats 'cool',My sister bought loads of playboy stuff, and i'm like "do you know what playboy is?" she didn't have a clue!

How can they ban make up though? Thats crap, all the girls will look like monsters without it!

cson

This was in the news weeks ago.

Pfft, she should have her hair a normal colour. There's no place for that colour hair in society. Suspect carpet muncher I reckon.

On a serious note; didn't some pikeys miss their Junior Cert exams cos they had skint heads in some where in Offaly a couple of years ago? Clara me thinks?

Davidius

Let's be fair now.

Who gives a flying **** about how they look? Shallow, shallow, shallow.

Random

Schools in this country... gotta love it. Load of bollocks.

The schools argument is no doubt that the hair dye is the first step, then the heavy gold jewlery .. etc

We don't know the background for the story, so we can't really comment, but it would be very foolish if they suspended her for just that. It could have been the final straw in a list of rule breaks. Unfortunately, schools can make a dress code and students have to stick to it. If you feel that it's discrimination, maybe you shoul check out the European Courts of Human Rights and take a case against the school. God knows, people ahve gone there for less.

And then where will we be? Drive by shootings in the middle of the night.
I'm gonna go home and lock myself in the basement.

:cool:Purple hair ZOMFG offence!!!!:eek: Batten down the hatches, society as we know it is crumbling!!!!

Oh wait, no it isn't. I'm so glad I'm finished with school. :cool:

bitemybanger

haha, you think we have it bad, i was watching a documentry called Americas hardest prisions last night and it was about a prison for 18-25 year olds, its like a military camp, Anyway, there was a young lad in there for a year for just tellin somone hed stab them:rolleyes:
He seemed a quiet guy, no previous criminal history and defo didnt belong in any type of prison. some were in there for being drunk and dissorderly and a load of other reletivly minor offences. maybee this type of police enforcment wouldnt go amiss here;)

crosstownk

I haven't read the complete thread. But from the pics I've seen in the newspaper it doesn't look like a suspension/expulsion offence.

Let the girl go to school, FFS!

It was on todays Herald and is being talk about on the Adrian K phoneshow at the moment.

Yup that happened two years ago as far as I remember.:rolleyes:

Davidius

Meh if a school has a certain dress code then it's really not that hard to follow it. Unless of course you go out of your way to look different/break the code in which case you had it coming. How hard is it to not do something?

randylonghorn

What do you bet that teachers in the same school have been heard to say "You shouldn't judge people by their appearance!"

I was in a shop last Saturday and the Heddild had her on the front page. Thats 6 days ago. Maybe I exaggeratted with weeks, but it certainly is old news by todays standards.

Lets hope a scumbag doesn't walk into school wielding a shotgun like the terminator over being suspended for Hair color. :cool:

Yeah, they went to one of my cousins schools, they were real trouble makers and the hair thing was just the last straw. They cut it specifically to pi** off the principal because they thought he wouldn't dare ban them during the exams. They were given the option to sit the exams in another school.

I never thought I'd see such a thing. What's next? Someone'll be murdered, I suppose. And then the porn kings and drug barons will move in. And then where'll we be? Drive-by shootings and the like. It'll be like Boyz N the Hood. And then they'll have all the hoors selling their wares on the street, and the pimps'll be using crack to keep the hoors under control. I'm going home now to lock myself in the basement until they catch him. Goodbye, Father!

You watch who you are calling a pikey?
Do you know them? Did you ever meet them? What do you know about them.
Clara? Ppft. You dont even know where they're from.

Don't you dare call him a pikey.

No they didn't miss their junior cert.

Jeez. Whatever happened to getting facts straight.

Yeah, that's fine if it dictates how you dress. Piercings/jewellery etc. can be removed before going to school leaving you free to do what you want outside school. Dictating what colour someone's hair should be is ridiculous as they're telling you how you should look outside of school as well.

If they're legally allowed to do this then I'm gonna work to become a school principal and suspend all gingers

WTF are you talking about at all? Jesus Christ.

Sean has never dyed his hair in his life, and I know him all his life.
They were real trouble makers? Really? And you know this... how?

Sean got his hair cut ON HIS SUMMER HOLIDAYS. Because he was working on a tractor, and the weather was very hot.
Have you ever sat in a tractor, surrounded by glass, from 8am til whatever time the sun stops shining at??
He got his hair cut. It was neat and it was tidy.
The exams didn't start until june. If you look into it, schools are actually taken over by the Dept of Education for exams so it had diddly squat to do with the principal. TBH, sean had more pressing things on his mind than testing the principal. They were not given the option of sitting the exams in another school until the parents created uproar.
The parents weren't even notified by the principal.

So. Until you know what your talking about, STFU.

On topic: I dunno, i dont agree with it. If she was just suspended for having purple in her hair its a bit silly alright.
from 1st year until 6th year I had my hair cosmic blue, black and pink, black and red, black and purple, plat blonde and purple... ect ect, and while the principal would get on to me about it, she never once suspended me over it.
She didnt like facial piercings either.

Ahh good old TCS up to thier old tricks again. Believe me this isn't the first time they did something like this. When I was there they suspended a guy because of his "inapropriate" hair cut, he had a step, two razor on the back and sides long hair coming down over it, you couldn't even tell his back and sides were shaved, this was two days before his mock leaving cert exams. He told the Evening Herald about it and they let him back, tails tucked well between thier legs, the day of his mocks and never mentioned it to him again. Another girl in my class was suspended the month before her junior cert for getting a nose ring despite the fact she said she would remove it, "thats not the point, you broke the rules" was their explanation I recall. They also tried to make everyone were silly little ID tags for some reason once and make the pupils pay for them, I seem to remember them suspending several people in thier exam years for not wearing them aswell, "you can't afford to pay for them?, tough sh1t enjoy resitting your leaving cert if you fail because you were suspended in the vital revision month before it.".

If this happened any later than 1998 then he was probably suspended for crimes against fashion.

And rightly so, I must hasten to add.
