They want her to tone down what is her hair.

Emily Reay, 17, who has natural auburn hair, is a pupil at Trinity School in Carlisle, Cumbria, and claims she has sported the same vibrant ginger hair for the last three years.

But on her return to lessons following the Easter holidays she claims she was ordered to tone it down after teachers decided the colour was inappropriate.

Now, during her last year of A-levels, Emily – who is naturally auburn – has been told she is banned from lessons until she changes her appearance…

    I know red headed women are distracting ( after all, they are beautiful ) but really?

    According on their school webpage, “Responsibility and care for others reflects the Christian ethos of our school.” They should add the following: except when you are a ginger.

      Gay marriage is the slippery slope to tolerance of red heads.

    leave her the hell alone. she was born with natural red hair and she shouldn’t have to change it for anyone.

    Redheads, “Gingers” are somewhat discriminated against in the UK and other places. IDK exactly why- maybe part of the lingering animosity against the Irish by the Brits? This also exists below the surface over here. When my son was little he had vibrant red hair and I once nearly got into a fight in a restaurant with some drunk who kept mocking him.

      You hit the nail on the (red)head. The animosity towards children with “ginger” hair is just an example of English racism towards Celts – Irish or Scottish. Should that surprise you when you remember the vicious treatment handed out to Irish men women and children by the out of control English army in the 60s 70s and 80s.

    So the school was okay with her hair color before Easter, but not after? Something sounds fishy here.

    • Dwendt44 April 16th, 2015 at 7:26 pm

      Unless she put some of that radical red coloring in on top of her normally red hair.

  9. Mike April 16th, 2015 at 2:18 pm

    C’mon she’s a Ginger…burning, drowning, or public disembowelment are really the only acceptable forms of dealing with the problem.

    It wasn’t that long ago that read heads were seriously ostracized.

    It’s hard for me to imagine since I have always thought red hair was gorgeous.
