Kirby Moore is a dye deliquent. After her stepsister Chelsea dyed her hair to a slightly darker color (and received accolades from her teachers), Kirby dyed her hair dark brown. When she appeared at her school in England, she was whisked away and confronted with the dress code — and her all-too-dark image. Her hair was unnaturally dark and she must remain secluded until she is again “natural.”
This tangled mess is based on a school determination of what is natural for Kirby, who has mousy brown hair. Presumably, dark brown is fine if it is viewed as a natural color, but Kirby is a mousy brown mascarading as a dark brown.
Her parents Stuart and Dawn Gander hwere told that she cannot return to her classes until she return to her proper color, but they have pulled both kids out in protest.
I offer the following tone to occupy their time:
She asks me why
I’m just a hairy guy
I’m hairy noon and night
Hair that’s a fright
I’m hairy high and low
Don’t ask me why
Don’t know
It’s not for lack of break
Like the Grateful Dead
Darling
Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair
Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain’t no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my…
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair
I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!
Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair’s too short
Down to here
Down to there
Down to where
It stops by itself
They’ll be ga ga at the go go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond
Brilliantined
Biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son
Why don’t my mother love me?
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

What’s the world and educational system coming to when they tell a girl that she cannot dye her hair. What business is it of theirs? Brown is not a horrid color, like blue or green, say. Shame on the school principal that doesn’t keep things in perspective! I hope the girl’s mother sues the principal personally. What a crock.
Thank goodness that would not happen here. Strange ways for those Brits. In Richmond (actually Dinwiddie County) we had a child suspended for dying his hair blue (smurf fan I guess). The EDVA made swift work of that stupid suspension, and the child is now free to wear his hair in technicolor if he chooses.
WOW, this school really has their finger on the pulse of everything important to learning. I’ve seen those studies linking hair dye to mental febrility. OMG! It’s so great they caught this in time.
Do they also have a policy on hair dye for teachers and administrators?
