The school refused to let the child into class because of the color of his hair. Reported by the Grimsby Telegraph.
According to the material, Jacob Lee-Stokes was quarantined at home for two months due to the coronavirus pandemic. During this time, he experimented with his hairstyle and dyed his hair blue and pink. Soon after, he decided to withdraw the aforementioned shades and return to his natural red color.
However, the student did not manage to achieve uniform coloring. His hair is lighter at the roots and darker at the ends. On the first day of school after the end of the self-isolation regime, Humberston Academy officials did not allow Lee-Stokes to attend classes due to his appearance.
According to the student’s mother, Gemma Leaning, the school advised her son to completely shave off his hair. “This is outrageous. I understand school politics, and if I could, I would take him to the hairdresser, but no one has that opportunity during a pandemic. It is unfair. They would not tell girls to shave their hair in a situation like this. Who at all? decides what is beautiful and what is not? ” – the woman emphasized.
Jacob Lee-Stokes said the school should pay more attention to how well children do in school, rather than how they look.
The school management also spoke about the situation: “We have a clear regulation that outlines the rules for the presentable appearance of our students. Parents and children are required to carefully prepare for the first day in school. We expect families to take appropriate action to smoothly integrate into the beginning of the educational process after self-isolation. “
Earlier in March, children applied acne cream and were expelled from school for insulting blacks. This is a shot taken in 2017, but the consequences of the shooting became known only now. The photo shows three 14-year-olds with dark green face paint.
