HURRICANE — A Hurricane teenager has been allowed back at school after being threatened with suspension if she didn't dye her hair to what school officials agreed upon as a "natural" shade.

Rylee MacKay, 15, was asked on Wednesday to leave class at Hurricane Middle School and not return until her hair color fit "on the spectrum of natural color," according to her mother, Amy MacKay.

MacKay said she had taken a copy of the dress code to the hairdresser when Rylee had dyed her hair, and the three had come up with a shade they felt fit the policy. It was a mixture of natural brown and red, she said, although school officials claimed they sent Rylee home for having "pink and purple" in her hair. Rylee has been dying her hair the same shade since September, according to her mother.

And the ACLU hasn't jumped in on this?

Isn't this a public school?

I don't see the problem here. Looks like a natural color to me.

The nearby town of Kanab, Utah has also banned bikinis from their swimming pool. Most likely they preferred french braids and pioneer dress as a sign of respect for motherhood.

I was expecting some kind of electric Hayley Williams red.

If the picture there is accurate: really? That was it? That's a perfectly tame shade of red-brown. You can't even tell that it isn't her natural hair color.

Sounds like some power-tripping teacher didn't like her dying her hair at all and made a bone-headed call, then tried to justify it by claiming it was an unnatural color.
