AzureNightLight 122 July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 (edited) Do you think Canterlot High is a normal school? I mean with the magic, and the purple people and the talking dogs and.... you get the point. Why would rainbow hair be the biggest issue?

MoonStatue 26 July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 Its a magical spell casted by the ancient wuzerd dimpledoor and so her hair is allowed in every school Most likely is that her hair is fine with the rules of the school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,367 July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 Her hair is rainbow, yes. However, her body is BLUE. I think the school is in a position where they can't exactly discriminate hair colors. XD 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,851 July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 It isn't dye, it's her natural hair color. Most school dress code language references one or three key words, 'dye', 'coloring', or 'artificial.' My kid's highschool dropped this item entirely. My 15 year old has attended high school with 'pinkie pie' pink and bright ass blue. So not every public school even has a hair color rule. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,959 July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 I don't think Canterlot High is the most normal high school out there. People seem to be pretty accepting of girls magically sprouting wings during pep rallies as well as surprisingly okay with one of the students being a magical pony from another dimension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlikeable Pony 2,698 July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 Do you mean her hair color? Because her hair style isn't that strange.And given that her hair color is NATURAL in this universe (Everyone's blue, purple, pink, ect., and has blue, purple, whatever hair), I think it would be racist to tell her her hair's distracting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 I think in most High Schools her hair would be considered extreme/distracting and not allowed. In what high school? I have never heard of a school having a dress code that barred rainbow hair. It isn't dye, it's her natural hair color. Most school dress code language references one or three key words, 'dye', 'coloring', or 'artificial.' Are there actually schools that bar hair color? Why? What is their justification? They would send kids home for something so stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,851 July 8, 2016 Share July 8, 2016 In what high school? I have never heard of a school having a dress code that barred rainbow hair. Are there actually schools that bar hair color? Why? What is their justification? They would send kids home for something so stupid? Yes. The 'distraction' it causes is the usual justification. In fact there have been one or two national news stories of actual student suspensions for dying hair with an auburn hue with the instruction to dye it back to a natural color. My kids are attending the same high school my wife and I attended (we had a 'natural' color rule in the early to mid 90's). They changed their dress code allowing coloring ... it started when the school Superintendent discouraged it's enforcement before dress codes were revised since issues like family abuse, bullying, and drugs needed more focus. He stated that enforcement of the dye rule would take focus away from more important issues. Also too many were using colored dye. I think it is absurd as well.

I looked it up and I saw apparently even kids with undyed hair have been told to dye their hair a "natural" color because their hair was "too distracting". That is utter bullshit. If the school sent my kid home because someone else's kid is distracted by the color purple I would send my kid back the next day with a new color in the mix for every day they complained. Kids are not in school to be "professionals", they are there to learn and socialize. Can't we let them live a little before we strip them of their individuality and turn them into corporate cogs?

Red Cedar 1,408 July 8, 2016 Share July 8, 2016 And Pinkie Pie's is bright pink. I think there's every reason to believe that, just like in Equestria, their hair colours are natural. If anything, it would be more distracting to them to see a young student who had died their hair grey like the Mayor. 1 Roleplaying OC: Red Cedar - Cast Character: Applejack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Sonnet 88 July 30, 2016 Share July 30, 2016 Idk. My high school here in America had no problem with kids dyeing their hair. I was actually friends with a couple of students with rainbow hair. But over in Japan's schools, it was a different story XD And many public schools in the US (besides mine) had problems with "distracting" hair color. But yet again, you have to think. Principal Celestia has some crazy hair color too, and she WORKS for the school XD 1 "Your past doesn't define who you are.

El Duderino 879 July 30, 2016 Share July 30, 2016 She probably bribed the teachers. But actually, I don't think that normal high school logic applies to EG. Also, not all real schools would be opposed to that. It just depends on how conservative the school and area is. When I was in high school, kids could die their hair different colors without the school caring (but when I wear a bath robe it's "distracting". hypocrites).

Flutterstep 47,069 July 30, 2016 Share July 30, 2016 (edited) To be honest, I thought the same. Although, after all, it is her natural hair colour. Schools don't kick people out because they are blond or brunette - that would be as crazy as kicking people out for dying their hair blue or green or, even a national colour, black… oh wait… that actually happened at my old school. xD Okay then, I guess it's plausible. Schools do have stupid rules after all. Edited July 30, 2016 by Flutterstep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankha 35 July 30, 2016 Share July 30, 2016 Their skin colors are colorful too, so I don't think they care. It's the natural pastel way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorsesandMOARGaloar 300 August 4, 2016 Share August 4, 2016 That is because in her world and setting, everyone has hair and skin that exists in various colours (such as Principal Celestia, Dean Cadence, Aria Blaze, and Sour Sweet who have contrasting colours in the same hair), so it is considered "normal". In the real world, she would not be able to go to school, as she would break the rules by having to dye her hair to avoid distracting the other students. She would also make headlines, especially if her rainbow hair is proven to caused by genetic factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim&Venöm 18,757 August 4, 2016 Share August 4, 2016 Going by the rules of most american public schools, it'd be a public relations blunder and instant local news story for a school to enforce rules like that, doubly so since it's Dashie's natural hair color. Enforcing such a rule only presents a negative image of the school, encourages students to act worse in retaliation, all for what? Looking 'normal?' Besides, it's not really an issue these days. I dyed my hair red on several occasions in High School. Even did it for my senior picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrinie 392 August 4, 2016 Share August 4, 2016 I've honestly never heard of a public school having rules on students' hair choices...though that may just be because my high school was cool with pretty much anything.

Ashen Pathfinder 16,161 August 4, 2016 Share August 4, 2016 American schools have rules against dyeing one's hair? Depends on the individual school, or school system. Some definitely do have rules against hair colors other than the natural color, and sometimes they tend to be the same schools that ban certain types of t-shirts and piercings other than ear rings. I should know; I went to one of those high schools.
