In Mountain Grove, Missouri lives a free spirit by the name of Amelia Robbins. The 12-year-old has dyed her hair in honour of her father who passed away when she was just 6. Amelia has pink hair. The school board is having a fit.
At the end of last year's school term
Amelia had pink streaks. Now granted the school board at that time told her to stop those streaks but she decided to go full pink instead.
Now instead of teaching the seventh grader, the school is refusing to allow her and her pink hair to walk down the halls saying the colour is too much of a distraction.
The Mountain Grove Middle School pupil doesn't agree.
According to the school handbook, administrators have the right to decide if a student is causing a distraction. Officials are remaining mum on Amelia's case.
