In the East Houston school district of Galena Park this past weekend North Shore High School held their annual homecoming ceremonies. The young lady selected as Homecoming Queen had purple hair.
The school really dropped the ball on this one. Instead of requiring that she correct her hair prior to the ceremony, they allowed her to participate with purple hair. When she won they tried to photoshop the hair a different, more natural color, brown.
My first thought is, why didn’t they require her to change the color prior to the ceremony? If they had required her to fix it prior, then they would not have felt compelled to photoshop it for a press release. It is very simple, if she showed up with purple hair, then she wouldn’t be allowed to participate. The second place vote earner would be named the Homecoming Queen.
